Follow the money...

Yes, like right on I95. Rest stops where you can pee and buy cheap booze in one place.

DE is the corporate state. Corporate taxes pay nearly half the state budget otherwise the tax situation might be just as bad as PA or NJ.

While not taxes, in NC some counties had beer and liquor stores next to the border of the counties that did not permit them. It has only been in the last 20 or so years that some wised up to that and voted in the alcohal sales. Not sure if th emoney went to it, but was suppose to go to schools. The state lottery came about because the money was suppose to go to schools. Probably never made it,or money that used to go to schools was reduced by the lottery money.

It is pretty hard these days with an electric meter. If you unplug it they know when and for how long. The Odo on a car is stored in ROM in the ECU. You can replace the ECU but it might cost as much as you would save by rolling back the odo and anyone who was looking would know that wasn't the original ECU.

When there were more cows in rural Lee County (Fl) than people the tax collector bought a couple RVs and he would set up in different parking lots around the county for stuff like that. It was really easy. Just look in the paper to see what day one was near you and go. It was a whole lot cheaper than renting office space for a minimal crowd.

I suppose that is good for the residents of DE. Everyone else is subsidizing your government in the price of the products they buy from those corporations.

When I moved out in '88 the liquor store right across the border on I95 was doing a land office business. Easy off and easy on for your trip back to Boston.

If you look at school budgets, you will see lottery money doesn't even bump the needle. It was just a PR thing to sell the lottery to people. In the last 33 years the lottery brags about giving "education" $39 billion total. My little school board spends $1.5 billion a year and there are 66 other counties with their straw in that cup. It is also a very regressive way to tax.

And the Senator from MBNA made sure nobody rocked that boat...

It was like that far before he was elected. MBNA was flourishing and Biden extorted his share.

PA had agents staking out liquor stores in DE and MD and would arrest their residents coming home. The smart ones would tell the agents that they were driving to the tax man to pay the PA tax.

Years ago I had a guy working for me and that was his part time job on Saturday. He'd load up his Bonneville and had some regular customers in Philly.

George Washington was the first and only sitting president to lead an army in the field, an army of close to 13,000 troops, larger than any he had commanded in the Revolutionary War. The purpose of the army was to collect whiskey tax.

The tax was suggested by Hamilton to support his dream of a dictatorial federal government. Burr should have been given a medal for shooting the snake.

So no Republican ever cheated on taxes? Good for them.

They should let the IRS go after those Democrats

have been raising holy hell over the idea that President Joe Biden wants to strengthen the IRS enough so that it can go after the really big tax cheats, the ones robbing the nation of hundreds of billions of dollars, instead of the working poor people who are easier to audit, the ones who can't afford lawyers to intervene. Fully funding the IRS and clawing those owed tax dollars out of the hands of people who can damned well afford to pay has been included as one of the ways that the bipartisan group has said they'll pay for their almost $600 billion proposal for hard infrastructure.

When millionairs (many in government) are makeing the rules and are being put in office by the billionairs does anyone really think they are going to pass any laws where there are not loopholes for the billionairs and high millionairs to get out of taxes ? Some of the billionairs are moving to other countries to get out of the taxes.

Still too bad there can not be some kind of flat tax rate and no deductions of any kind and no tax shelters.

Actually they got hurt when other states raised the max interest on credit cards and they weren't all in Delaware anymore.

It was also significant that Washington was one of the nation's largest whisky distillers and he didn't want competition from untaxed liquor.

Most tax incentives are paying people to do things they wouldn't ordinarily do. I suspect few actually work out.
