I wouldn't be surprised. They already get first pick out of my pay. I might as well just give them all of it. 40% you say WOW!!

ya but thats out ragous. like say for 60 dollar cheap disk man now its going to be 100 dollars. so now your going to have to take in to account the tax if your going to go buy stuff. its gettin to be that you have to be rich to live in this world any more.

 

i highly doubt they will charge you $40 for a $60 diskman. that would be retarded and nobody would buy anything. 40% would make more sense, but that is still a very high number.

 

They'll likely see an increase in the theft of electronics both on a retail scale and private(house,car.etc)as well.

 

Where exactly did you hear this?

That's one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long while. There's no way it's going to happen. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

 

heard it from my uncles. like i said it was a rumor. my unlces heard it and they just told every one at the dinner table

 

Never heard about it - you would think a "retailer" would know about such a tax.

I would say "no-way" that they would impose that kind of tax on electronics - but hey its the f***in government - who knows !!

Peace out !! Say no to 40% electronic taxes !!

Grant.
