When the disintegrating state gets desperate, it wants your blood and money. Here is a list of services the state wants to tax in order to try to keep its sinking empire afloat. Note that you have to keep scrolling … and scrolling … and scrolling …… and scrolling. This endless list was compiled by the Federal Tax Administration because there will be a federal service tax – you can bet your last cigar. The feds, the states, the cities – they are all spending wildly, they are all fighting for your last drop of resources, and none of them seem to worry that so many of you are out of a job, have lost your house, have taken a pay cut, or are just sick and tired of being raped of your property in order to financially prop up a corrupt empire that empowers liars, thieves, and megalomaniacs who cater to the politically powerful and their assorted constituencies. Here’s just a sampling from the hit list:
- Labor charges on repairs delivered under warranty (gotta love those taxes on services that you don’t have to pay for)
- 900 numbers (Well, there goes my budget!)
- Tax return preparation (anybody see the irony here? the feds make you pay taxes and file a return as a statement of what you owe, and they want to tax you to pay someone to do that for you!)
- Credit information, credit bureaus
- Pinball and other mechanical amusements (how do you tax pinball? anyone?)
- Parking lots and garages (what about parking meters?)
