The real sales tax dodgers are the car dealerships and beauty supply folks, but if Courage Campaign wants to conflate yacht buyers with elitist GOPers to cover what is really a small hole in the grand scheme of things, well, they are welcome as long as they understand what they are doing.</p> If they want to plug a $22 million dollar hole, they should change the escape-paying-sales-taxes-by keeping-your-car/boat/plane-out-of -state period from 3 months back to a year – or more.

When the only GOP congressman I can remember in my life can’t even get his babymama to visit her kid.
