Tax Tax tax...that's all we ever get here in Georgia. Granted, I've never used Uber or AirBNB, but I do go on ebay all teh time. Now our leadership wants to stick it to us again. Tax Tax tax...Tax Tax tax...Tax Tax tax...Tax Tax tax...Tax Tax tax...Tax Tax tax...

I'm ready to pack my duds and move to a state with lower taxes. This sucks.

Politicians (both sides) have never met a tax they didn't like.

It's a shame that both political parties at every level of government feel it necessary to increase taxes to pay for things rather than be more fiscally responsible. They both look at tax increases or the creation of fees (just another name for tax) as the answer.

Its' simple, spending buys votes. Lower taxes is often met with "Why didn't they spend the money on <pet-project>?"

The Internet sales tax is being pushed as "being fair" to brick and mortar stores, but it's also just a money grab.
