[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 931557, member: 65699"] Dave, most everything from overseas has to go through customs, where value is declared, which would make taxing it easier. Unless you persuade people to lie about the value, but there are already issues with that now. Well, there's a tax that would never be repealed :( Also, it would not stay at 1%. Example: Maryland state sales tax started out as a flat tax of 1 cent per purchase, and was only supposed to exist until the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was paid for. The bridge is long since paid for. We still have sales tax. It started at a flat 1 cent. Then it went to 1%, then it became 5%, and then it became 6% in 2008. Here's a question--why do I have to pay the government a percentage of my purchase just to have the right to make that purchase? [/QUOTE]
