   Please visit more often, as the California state sales tax is stupendously   
   high, so you can help defray our costs.   
      
   In addition, the hotel taxes are astronomical, so do stay at a hotel.   
      
   And, I've found, a taxi that originates from an airport costs more than the   
   exact same taxi ride that doesn't originate from the airport - so use the   
   taxi please!

   (You gotta love a state that taxes you even when you never owe them a cent,   
   which only NY and CA do - and CA does it hugely more than NY which only   
   taxes you $100 when you don't owe them money but file income taxes late).   
      
   You also gotta love a state that sales taxes the salles tax on top of both   
   tires and soda bottles. In the case of soda bottles, if you paid, say, $100   
   in the year for the CRV, you only get back about $90 because California   
   *taxes* the CRV!   
      
   Likewise, you pay a sales tax to buy a tire, and then you pay *another*   
   sales tax on that same tire when you bring it in for disposal!   
      
   They also have a sales tax on phones that you get for free - yup - you pay   
   about $70 sales tax on a free $700 phone even though you get the phone for   
   free (of course, you're paying for the phone internally in your contract   
   but *that* is taxed also!).   
      
   Any state that can have consistently the highest taxes in the nation   
   deserves notice - especially since it's the only state I know of that is   
   too poor to afford yellow school buses.   
      
   QUESTION:   
   Is there any other state other than California that is too poor to afford   
   yellow school buses?
