California Gov. Gavin Newsom said it's unfair how some people avoid paying the state sales tax when buying software.

    Why are you against a sales tax?

      Sales taxes are regressive. The poorest people pay way more of their income to buy things at stores. Therefore they are getting taxed a lot more than someone who saves money because they have bigger incomes

      People who downvote someone asking a question is insane. Gods forbid you want to learn something or engage in a dialogue.

        How dare the government raise money to fund useless things, like infrastructure, education or social services, right?
