Bendito;

not that it's relevant to this, but I have two unopened copies of GPL for
sale for 10.49 plus shipping.  That's what I paid for them, I'm not trying
to make any profit.

The same day I mentioned their availability in here a few weeks ago, some
fellow emailed me and said he was interested.  I told him 9.99 plus .50
sales tax (what I paid) plus 4.51 to cover shipping. I stopped the next day
and bought 3 copies.  He sent me a postal money order for 20$!  I sent GPL
to him the next day.

So, I have two unopened copies for which I paid 10.49 USD.  If anyone wants
them for whatever reason (cheap gift to get someone into serious sim racing
comes to mind...) I will send them for 10.49 plus shipping (3.20 for first
class 2.80 for 3rd class in the USA)  No extra charges, just trying to pile
on some good karma.

I'm so glad I don't live in the US. Every time I try to understand the
American system of sales taxes, my head starts spinning. Why on earth
don't US shops do what British ones do - include the tax (VAT in our
case) in the price on the sticker, then apply discounts for those who
are eligible?

Doesn't it vary from state to state?

That's a silly argument - the same one used by some PC advertisers when
they were told to start quoting VAT-inclusive prices (which most now
do). And the lbw law is a *completely* different kettle of fish - that,
of course, is not subject to the vagaries of logic ;-)

Some municipalities also add their own taxes, such as new york city.  Many
cities have special taxes dedicated to staying in hotels and things, too.

I am one of those nut cases who thinks income taxes should be abolished.
After all,  the country survived without them until early in the 20th
century and they were promised to be 1/2 of 1% and no more when introduced
(can now reach 50% or so very easily)

VAT type taxes are brought up whenever tax reform is discussed and they are
always shot down.  A national sales tax of approx. 17.5% (of which there is
none) is also suggested as an alternative to income taxes.

I just know I am sick of having my paycheck***d by the government,
considering much of the useless and self-serving nonsense it pays for.
