I confess: I'm going to buy a laptop tax free in Oregon
Bless me DU, for I have sinned. It has been three weeks since my last confession.

Even though I believe in taxes and doing my fair share, I am going to drive over to Oregon to buy my laptop tax free.

2. Then you don't believe in taxes, for yourself anyway.
Actions speak louder than words.

4. You're right. If you have any conflicts you absolutely don't believe.
Looks like I'd better sign up for my Freeper membership NOW!

3. That's one of the things I miss about Oregon, but
then, they need to find a better funding source for the schools.

6. Oregon doesn't fund their schools at all
I graduated just before the shit hit the fan; my senior level math class had 50 kids in it. 50.
I felt bad for the teachers.
And then they started cutting the AP science classes..
Oregon voters, outside of the Willamette Valley, are pretty selfish voters that won't fund schools or health care.

5. Go for it
Avoid HP if you can - their current CEO is doing the work of Satan.

7. You can buy one tax-free without leaving the house...
just find an out-of-state online retailer that has what you're looking for.

9. I make many major purchases online to avoid sales tax
I have always lived in states with sales taxes over 7%. The sales tax is regressive and unfair. It should never be more than 1 or 2 percent in any state, and never on necessities. I pay state and federal income taxes faithfully.
