sales tax

[eyexer]

Boy, you guys must eat a shit ton of Hardee's to worry about a 1/2% sales tax. ;:;rofl ;:;popcorn

it's the principal of the matter and that's it.

 

[johnr]

besides it being illegal, and enough of our cash is stolen by big brother.

I am getting hot under the collar just thinking about it.

 

[Reprobait]

For a "small gov't" state we sure do like our taxes.

I think these local sales taxes should be restricted to a certain percent. Go to any of the big towns in ND on a Saturday and stores are full of out of town people. Some areas have a sales tax base and the next county over has almost zero. It might help the county that has significant sales tax revenue but the people in counties with no sales tax revenue end up supporting their local gov't through property taxes and the gov't where they do much of their shopping through sales taxes.

Yes guys, I am sick of paying taxes to. Just jerking on your tampon string a little. ;:;boozer:;:howdy

The state takes their 5% and gives it out as they see fit though. But yea we are taxed to the bejesus. Well some of us are.

I heard somewhere that ND has the highest number of state employees per capita in the country?

Also better plan on taxes going up in western ND, Williston/Watford/Minot are carrying tremendous debt loads right now.

In GF (little Chicago) we have a sales tax and an additional Motel/Restaurant tax also. Maybe Williston has the same.

As much fun as a HAPL protest sounds (especially given that warmer weather is on the way), I find it difficult to believe that they're charging an extra half-percent (and SHOWING IT ON THE RECEIPT) if they're not legally allowed to do so.

I hate tax as much as the next guy, but I truly believe that sales tax is one of the most fair forms of taxation out there, at least for non-essential items. The more you spend, the more tax you pay.

My two cents...

I'm all for eliminating the property tax and raising the sales tax

 

[BrokenBackJack]

Eye,
Did you send a copy of your receipt to the tax commissioner?
If not do so, don't let this crap go on.

 

[Riverbottoms]

I think AL Carlson is behind this!!

I live in oil country, and as we westerners had the living shit kicked out of us with excess people, traffic, and all the boom nonsense we smiled and took it. The money collected went to the entire state, not just the counties making that extra cash. Well now if in this down turn our western cities cant count on the eastern cities to spread that "little Minneapolis cash" right back the same way we shared it.... Well that just effn sucks balls, big hair, greasy, sweaty, old balls.

Sorry #guywitholdballs, that wasn't directed at your old skater nuts...haha

 

[guywhofishes]

pssst... you didn't share it - we simply took it

[johnr]

haha, true is that. We are a damn bunch of turnips.

my liberal buddy was right, me and my giving neighbors suck.//

Has anyone thought how much tax revenue a dollar generates in a year. I buy something and pay lets say 7% sales tax. Store pays help said dollar, store person buys something from another store and its another 7%. This happens 12 times a year maybe. That's 84% of the dollar. Then we all pay income tax on said dollar at lets say 15% times the 12 people that handled that dollar in the year. That's 180% so were up to 264% on one dollar in use and that's just for starters. That's the American way I guess, or is it just me.

Mort is sending it to the Tax dept.

Ok, so property taxes and the per capital size of government is large. However, we also receive the most per capital in federal funding. Economies of scale and efficiencies are more challenging because we just don't have many people.

I'm waiting for GST the chime in and prove me wrong. I haven't looked at any numbers in awhile.

that's due to two things. Air bases and farm program. Remove those and we probably get the least
