That is pretty damn crazy. I thought VA was bad for demanding back taxes on items purchased online or in states that don't charge sales tax. Seriously, they're all "hey, you owe us 5.5 cents for that Pepsi you bought in Breezewood by the PA turnpike. Oh, and like $200 for all the shit you bought on Amazon"

Do they have border stations where uniformed Staties go through your stuff, demanding reciepts for anything that looks new?  We had those in CA for intercepting contraband oranges or passion fruit from Nebraska, but the only action that I ever saw there was the brown-shirted goons windmilling their left arm as cars crept by at 5mph.

I kid thee not



Interstate 80 W Ag Checkpoint, Truckee, CA



This is a cause of consternation among those who engage in ferret-running.

Well, this also applies to gay couples, not that anyone would mistake my SO for a lady.

I meant something along the lines of "Oh we're just a lesbian and gay dude who happen to live together because we both like... rainbows.  Or unicorns.  Or whatever homosexuals are meant to like, ha ha, we're certainly not a couple don't tax us extra."
