> Why not just tax all computers sales for $20? Because SC didn't invent computers, the internet, or anything related to this. This isn't their territory, and they should quickly and apologetically "back off". When in doubt, follow the money. $20 per device to a "task force" that you may or may not believe in is theft, a shakedown, or whatever variant someone may refer to it as. The effect: "You want a computer? Pay for it, and give me $20: you have no choice."
