Received a Bill for State Tax on An Amp Bought in Canada Last Year


Wow! The envelope said “Dept of Revenue” so I figured it may be my car tags due. I opened the envelope to find a statement that I owed $665 for “use tax” on an amp I bought last year in June.  Shocked is an understatement. Yes, I bought a used amp from a guy in Canada through A’gon. But I paid the tariff on it. Now they also want tax.  However, the amount they are basing it on is over double what I paid for the amp. But had to send it to Don Sachs for repair a few months later. So I wonder if they are seeing that as a separate purchase rather than a repair. They even charged me $43 interest which is more ridiculous IMO.
So the question...Are you required  to pay tax on a used amp or other used  items? Has anyone else encountered this? Yes, I know the states are cracking down on the sales tax. But on used items? Wow

Look under your beds everyone!
The commies are-a-comin'!

To read MC's take on classic projection (all the time) has gotten me to think he's actually here to recruit followers. Lord knows, there's been some who come a runnin any time he blows his horn.

Recently, the FBI put out an advisory to parents with kids who are into online gaming and it was scary. You see, people like MC hang out on those gaming sites and get to know the kids, pretending to be one of them.

Every so often they drop a racial slur or invective or some sexually snide remark and then gauge the reaction. They play it safe and continue to amp things up until they get the desired responses.

Then they PM the kids who react like likely candidates and get them to meet them on another site. They compliment and praise them for how smart they are and it all goes deeper into the alt right rabbit hole. 

From the responses they got, it's quite successful. I bring this up because MC doesn't just rant, he puts out a manifesto of sorts with all the recruiting points neatly laid out. This stuff is very similar to what the feds see online. I've read some of it and this is too close for comfort.

Now it may all be that he's just mimicking what he reads online but if anyone has been PM'd by him on matters like this and got the pitch, I'd be very careful of your next step.

 Your comprehension needs lots of work. You originally stated that California’s homeless make up 1 in 4 of it’s residents. 

My words were “1 in 4 homeless Americans are Californians”. That does mean 1 of 4 Californians are homeless. YOU are the one whose comprehension needs work. A lot.

Any adult with an ouch of integrity would man up and apologize for insulting me especially when it’s as result of his own mistake. 
You, … well you won’t. 
What a surprise.
“And now, with no other recourse, you go and enact the "cancel culture" that your side invented by having my spanking of you deleted.  “

You can imagine you “spanked” me as much as you want, but no adult considers cursing at somebody because of your own comprehension error as “spanking” anyone. Most adults would be very embarrassed by it. You’re patting yourself on you back and deflecting. 
So please run along and leave me alone. I have no interest conversing with anybody who is not adult enough to apologize for his bad behavior. I suggest you should seek out  people closer to your own age. 
Hey pauly, did you read what I wrote after you deleted my apology, just 5 posts up? Or you that fired up that you got your post deleted thinking you’ve framed a narrative to make me look bad that you didn't even bother to take a look?

Just getting that notice that a post of yours was removed triggered you that much?

This time, I can say with confidence, that you should have read it before posting so this time, you wouldn’t look like the one with egg on your face. Nothing like having you plan backfire so bigly, eh?

Oh, and by the way, if you want to be left alone, don’t start the problem or even try to frame someone without thinking it through.

All the best,

"As for my take, establish a living wage ..."
How much would that be, who would decide the amount, and how would it be distributed?
" Pay some form of child support/assistance to working families ..."
Would the funds come from families that don't work? 

" As for "printing" money, how come I heard no one bring that up with the last, unfunded, 2 trillion dollar tax giveaway to those that didn't need or warrant it?" 
Most likely because the crowd you hang with don't have a clue about the money issue and never discuss it.
" Look under your beds, everyone! The commies are-a-comin'!"
No need to look under the bed. They are in plain sight screaming about "Equity," "BLM," "Defund the police," and "critical race theory."
