California Sales Tax


This is not a joke. This picture was taken at a Subway sandwich shop in Sonoma County, California. I want to know which bloated, over-paid government bureaucrat contemplated this ridulous set of sales tax rules. I'm sure it just was not one bored bureaucrat trying to justify living off the public trough.. I'm sure there were many involved in this. No wonder the State of California is such a mess. They're wasting time and energy on stupid, useless shit like this.

Who audits this crap? Is the California Hot Sandwich police going to close down Subway because it toasted sandwiches, collected sales tax on it, and then did not report it to the state; therefore, keeping the tax as profits? What if my bottled beverage contains juice (which is not taxable)? Is that taxable? How much juice does a bottled beverage need to have in order to be non-taxable?

Do you see how STUPID all of this is? Raise up, people, and let your representatives know our money would be better spent on doing something that is actually productive and serves a real purpose -- like giving tickets to cell phone yakkers.
