- douche 10y agoWow, that is an idiotic tax policy. Of course it originated in California...
- vacri 10y agoFrom an outsider's viewpoint, the entire US tax system is idiotic, fragmented, hard to understand, and predisoposed to creating conflict.
- ForHackernews 10y agoWhy is that idiotic? It seems pretty sensible to me that you'd pay tax where the money was earned. To take a simplified example, if you lived in low-tax Nevada, but traveled to high-tax/high-population California to play shows, you're earning money based (at least in part) on the large audience in California. Why shouldn't you pay California part of that revenue?
