Skeet,

You do know that in Maryland you are supposed to download a form and pay the Sales & Use Tax on an item that you purchase over the internet or out of state. If the item is purchased out of state, Maryland charges a Use Tax on it when you enter the state kind of like they do in Wyoming. Ever wonder what that Use Tax in Sales & Use Tax was? Now you know. Guess how many people complete that form and send in the money.

Now, there has to be some taxation. Roads, schools, police departments, fire departments, and the Court system cannot fund themselves. Well, maybe the police department and Court system can. Anyway, I'm sure you get my point. With that said, I will agree with you in that taxes are just way out of control with almost no accountability for where the money goes. With government being so big, it is hard to track what the heck is going on.
