We keep the money here and duke it out about how to spend it.<br />Some home rule communities charge sales tax on rental properties, including apts and some have a seasonal higher % charged for sales of goods.<br />http://www.boe.ca.gov/news/sp111500att.htm <br />I pay roughly 10% of my gross income in local taxes.<br />So, get off that soapbox .<br /><br />alaskapialaskapihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900235733791874046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-35505257347604696472011-04-03T03:46:13.967-08:002011-04-03T03:46:13.967-08:00I have an idea for Alaska...you could actually TAX...I have an idea for Alaska...you could actually TAX your citizens, so they are paying for their own services...you know, as the rest of us in America do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-18148027257973179112011-04-03T00:40:34.563-08:002011-04-03T00:40:34.563-08:00I think we should hold people at gun point if need...I think we should hold people at gun point if need be to watch this.....You know i am laughing right.
