Things like this make me proud to call myself a "New York Refuge." I left the state in 1995 and swore I'd never return. Unfortunately, the Army has other plans for me in March and I'm sad to be headed to the worst state in the union. First the drivers license fiasco, now internet sales tax? Come on, New York! Instead of soaking the citizens with more taxes, cut your state government spending! I think as a protest anytime I buy from the internet in NY I will have my stuff shipped to my Arizona address and get it mailed to me from there.
