It will pass right after medical reform, too. Both parties are obsessed with populist "blame the bankers for the economy" rhetoric. Which means they are likely to do nothing. Which is just the way I like it. Unfortunately, while neither party has said "Jewish bankers," the message is just as clear. The nation is being run by fascists who dominate both sides of the aisle. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

Where this makes a difference is when the item purchased is taken into possession by the buyer in the place where sales tax is charged. An item that I may pay sales tax on can be purchased by someone in a foreign country who does not pay tax on that item. Once you pay sales tax, it is not refundable. But, under certain conditions, you need not pay the tax in the first place. Each state's laws on this may be different, but here's one example: http://www.boe.ca.gov/pdf/pub104.pdf -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

What will they charge for the 14-24mm f2.8 and 24-70mm f2.8 now, $4000 each??
