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

It’s like trying to give a cop a ticket for Reckless Driving. AFTER they drove through 5 stop signs, didn’t use a turn signal for 12 turns AND then parked on the wrong side of the road, while STARING at their center console. NEVER once noticing EVERY citizen in the country HURDING their vehicle the same exact way..

EXAMPLE being, when people SEE people in authority ABUSE their authority, you get what you LET HAPPEN..

How many people are still doing time behind CANNABIS that were arrested by some drunkin’ A$$ who will probably go home and abuse someone else..

The good PEOPLE get corrupted by SO MANY cowardly actions and cowardly laws. VICE law enforcement is a haven for corrupt PEOPLE..
You regulate VICE, period, with reasonable taxes, SAEFTY and a HARM reduction policy to the citizen. NOT TO MAKE money.. To pay for itself..
NOT 100,000 corrupt people working VICE carrying a badge and a gun, calling themselves COPS. They are NOT, They are perverts, though..

Double tappers!! BY BY.. No more of the type of training.. You get to shoot when you have been shot at.. ONLY.. I thought I saw a ????
too BAD!! Get behind something, protect yourself.. STUPID! Just like every other citizen does with any sense.. YOU get to shoot at someone when they shoot AT YOU. NOT WITH A cell phone.

10,000 times now I’ve heard "I THOUGH...BANG"!! Not Bang, now I know to shoot back from BEHIND my car. You know like in the movies.. HARRY!! Well he might not have hidden to many times.. BUT usually he got shot at at least.. Didn't he have a jar with spent lead or something..

Catch a rapist, murder or THIEVES burning down towns...
A thief will KILL, there is NO DIFFERENCE.

In other words, DO THE HARD THING, NOT THE EASY and the GOOD citizens LIKE me will back you till the day I move on to TAX FREE HEAVEN.. Everything is already paid for.. no debt.. NO CREDIT..

Song and dance 24/7/>>>>>>

Once you tackle the hard issues the easy will fall into place.. LIKE learning a vehicle is far more likely to KILL someone than a gun..

NOW put the TWO together with a badge staring at a center console, PICKING up on local PD gossip, as they drive by TENTS and BBQ pits all over the town they are sworn to PROTECT.. TOWNS not county land or private land but in TOWNS..

The old way was simple. You don’t own property here, you don’t rent here, you don’t stay here. YOU stay on county land or camping areas, like the the friggin hobos did for the last 250 years.

I don’t care that people don’t have homes or want to work.. Go do it somewhere ELSE.. I have work for 3 WEEKS at my house, can’t find a BUM to help..

They actually use to knock on the door for work.. I NEVER turned one down. NOW they just look in my garbage can, while pushing a 1000.00 usd Lucky’s push cart.. My how thing have changed.. They use to arrest people for stealing shopping carts.. Grand Theft. NOW!! I’ve seen 10 in a CONVOY for God sakes.. They just need CB and a call sign.. OPS! They have Cell Phones..

CRAP!! Got my Tourette’s kickin’
The kicker is CA is the 5th LARGEST economy in the world. 9.75% TAX. Do you know how much money that is?

WAY to much for CA mathematicians.. For some reason.. There is so much money they can’t even count it..

I could see 2% and balance the budget. BUT they are still spending more than they are taking in.. JAIL..

Two of the largest economies in the WORLD. The US and CA and there still isn’t enough money to fill their pockets and pay our bills. How broke is that.. ANYONE else doing that would go to jail, Unless your Chrysler, GM, an Insurance company or a Savings and Loan company.. GIVE the CEOs a pat on the back and a 20 million dollar bonus..

Capitalism is the pinnacle of Western civilization.

CRONY Capitalism is the pinnacle of SATAN.. That's right "The LOVE of money", NOT MONEY..

How do you charge taxes on land that YOU own and don’t even have a road to get you there..

50% of the land in CA was taken BACK by CA after they initiated LAND taxes. 50%.

No improvements and STILL taxed..

Which one was that? Taxation without Representation. Caused quit the TEA PARTY December 16 1773.

A corporate tax to boot.. 3 pence on every pound of tea.. WHO sponsored the revolution?

BUSINESS PEOPLE!! That could add and subtract.. A long forgotten art.. Simple MATH, what a concept.. If you don’t got it, you can’t spend it..
If you don’t work for it you don’t get paid. No work, No EAT!

Weather it’s inspiration or desperation, it is still motivation. HUNGER works.. I’ll feed ya, until I don’t.
