The computer used to visit PO.com was taxed, as was the operating system running the software.
The electricity powering the computer was taxed.
If you are surfing at a public library on a public access computer, it was paid for with tax dollars.

Such a place does not exist.
If it does, I'm sure the witing list to use the computer is a mile long.

The government owns everything. If you want to use it, you pay them. There is nothing the government can't take from you, up to and including your life. If its out there, the government has its finger on it

Can anyone give me a third thing that is not taxed?
If the government could figure out how to tax these 2 items, there is no doubt they would do so immediately.

Even when you own your own property. You have to rent it back from the government every year via property taxes or get booted off your own land. Nice eh! Read The Ballad of Carl Drega.

Another good example of brain-dead legislation:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')If you buy a gun at a gun show, the geniuses who vote in Oregon have decided that you must also pass a background check even if you are buying from a private collector. Of course, nothing prevents you from finding a gun you want to buy from a collector at a gun show and making the actual purchase across the street at McDonalds. Oregon gun laws were written by and for idiots.

Welcome to our state.
