    Subject: internet taxes
    From: Vince Frazier <vincefrazier@gmail.com>
    I apologize to all who may have been offended by my post on taxes. However, let me make something clear, I am not a tax cheat, or a freeloader, and for anyone to say so only reflects on them. I fully understand the brick and mortar -vs- online retail issues, however, please don't forget that online retailers must charge for outbound shipping. So, assuming that everyone is honest when they pay their sales tax (as required by law in most states), online should be MORE expensive. This was not the point of my post though. The point of my post was this: Shifting the tax collection responsibility for hundreds of taxing bodies to online retailers WILL make stuff more expensive and WILL drive some of us to simply close the doors. You'll have fewer choices in where to purchase unusual items, like airplane parts. I have tried to post my opinions as related to AVIATION purchases. There was no "right-wing conspiracy" intended. How politics got into this discussion befuddles me. I cannot speak to other states, but if you pay your sales tax on aircraft kits, engines, etc ahead of time in INDIANA,( i.e. before the state of Indiana recognizes your new airworthiness certificate from the FAA) there is a very good chance that you'll pay for it twice. YMMV. I hope some of you have found something useful in my posts. If you did not, kindly leave the flames to some other forum. Comment all you want, but flaming personal attacks are uncalled for.

    Everyone knows taxes can be corrosive. Left unchecked, they will errode away your ability to fly. Is Cuomo going to let you fly that homemade flying machine? You might be OK as long as you don't try to fly with a Big Gulp, a cigarette, or an assault rifle. Good luck on the upcoming first flight.

    Held for weather issues. He mentioned a possible window Saturday. If still no-go he will scrub and try again down the road. ---- Marty Helller <marty_away@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Last I checked, he was still by Tierra Del Fuego.....This is the current news release from EAA http://www.eaa.org/news/2013/2013-03-15_harrelson-attempting-flight-over-poles.asp > This link below was his flight the other week from Guam to Jacksonville (7,000+ NM).

    Subject: internet sales taxes coming?
    Enough, whatever your thoughts on sales tax, I believe in the constitution, unlike many in government today. If that makes me a right wing nut, than I am proud to be so, but given the great country that has grown from that document, I have other ideas as to who the nuts are. The biggest taxes we are facing are how incredibly expensive it is getting to do anything due to the huge increases we have all faced and will continue to face in government regulation. BUT, this has diverged far from aviation, could we please get back to RV's. I sat in my RV-10 fuselage for the first time yesterday, working on the brake lines. Looking forward to the seats becoming a little more comfortable.
