Hmm - it's not all bad - at least the horrendous 21ales tax allows
income tax to be kept down to a nice low 56%.
(Probably the reason that before we learn "Do you want fries with that?" we
learn "Do you want a receipt with that?")
I never did understand why you had to pay so much extra just to get a
little piece of paper...

Don't you think that a 21ales tax would prompt a tax revolt and a huge
underground economy? Perhaps it does.
