I would say that taxes are far more difficult than they should be. Lots of room for error. Which is why you are allowed to submit amended returns.

It's not really that hard. You add up everything you bought out of state that wasn't taxed, multiply it by 0.09. Is that difficult for you? I suppose if you are mentally incapable of addition and multiplication, the prosecution would go easy on you.

BTW, for people entering the U.S. from most nationalities south of the border, figuring your consumer use tax is actually a helluva lot easier than getting all the proper paperwork in order to enter the U.S. legally.

You are either in a country legally or you are there illegally.

When a person who has not previously been deported enters the U.S. without stopping at the border for inspection, they have committed the crime of illegal crossing. They aren't committing an additional crime by staying. It isn't illegal for them to *exist* here, the illegal act begins and ends with the crossing.

I don't usually like to talk ugly about slow people but I swear to all things holy that you're either incredibly obtuse or a Forrest Gump type of special.
