Once again, take your time ratboy
You've yet to list any examples when asked to produce examples.
You're the Joe Biden of the kitchen ya plagiarizing ass wipe.
The nut rage around here belongs to you and the delusional fodder you put forth...
You really should shut-up.

No, Americans Are Not Worse Off Today Than They Were in the 1970s
Populism feeds on myths about living standards that simply don't stand up to scrutiny.
Tuesday, July 9, 2019
Back in May, a young American called Akki caused a minor twitterstorm by seemingly showing what many pundits in the U.S. media frequently assert—that ordinary Americans are worse off today than they were in the late 1970s. A number of better-educated twitterati soon pointed out that Akki, a self-declared member of #TheResistance, engaged in what former U.S. President George W. Bush once referred to as “fuzzy math.”
In the meantime, Akki’s misleading claim scored over 197,000 likes on Twitter. It seems that in addition to the U.S. dollar, Americans have come to crave a new kind of currency: victimhood. Many Americans of all political persuasions relish the feeling of aggrievement and the accompanying sense of moral superiority, and if that means that they have to pretend that their lives are worse than those of their ancestors, so be it.

The End of the Free Internet Is Near
The idea that the internet should enjoy minimal government oversight precisely because it was a technology that enabled open and free speech for everyone has been turned on it's head.

The United States of Deplatforming
So far, at least, the U.S. government has yet to appoint a chief censor. But Silicon Valley's coastal elites have been eager to volunteer their services gratis.
The last year has marked a dispiriting new low in the "deplatforming," or banning from various online channels, of dissident voices. The ax fell on Infowars' Alex Jones, actor James Woods, the editorial director of AntiWar.com, the director of the Ron Paul Institute, and radio talk show host Jesse Kelly. (Some of these accounts have since been reinstated.)
Lawmakers have encouraged these social media bans. Congressional hearings have been called to interrogate tech execs on how their products are being used. Last August, Sen. Chris Murphy (D–Conn.) urged an even broader crackdown, proclaiming on Twitter that "the survival of our democracy depends on it."

When the internet was invented, everyone who had access to it knew who everyone else was and trusted them to be honest and respectful.

Are you the guy who believes adding more tax to the price of gasoline doesn't make the price go up?

The government version of the internet for commerce was, shall we say, less than ideal.
Are you the guy who posted that a retail tax doesn't apply to current inventory?
I have no idea what that means.
Think about it.
If you were a gasoline retailer, how would you handle it?
I would follow the law.

Sales tax is sales tax. You make a sale you charge the tax . . . so simple even a caveman (should) be able to understand. Did the retailer pay the tax?
Is it a sales tax?
If you top off your tank and pay the tax on that inventory before the tax is applied. Is that against the law?
Lets pretend you own a retail outlet and you buy a certain amount of inventory.
Is it against the law to pay the sales tax on that inventory before you sell it?
Assuming it is legal, and you are a gas station owner, what would you do?
Assuming you do the smart thing and pay the tax ahead of time, would you be able to charge the added tax on top of the inventory already taxed and paid?
My advice to rat and espola is to consult a real tax professional before owning or operating a gas station.
My conjecture is neither professional or worthy of much more than a passing thought.
One thing I can say for certain, is that adding a tax or increasing a tax, will always lead to higher cost for the consumer.

Not as secure as it needed to be for commerce. Hence the billions lost in I.D. Theft.
