29 hours and Counting!

Here we go with the budget crap again! Just when you thought it was safe to go to the grocery store and get stuff for the empty cupboards - the Senate decides not to pass the budget, and send it to "Committee". That is just their way of avoiding making a decision!
So I heard a bird tell me that there are a few (and I use this term VERY loosely) businesses that have NOT paid the required Sales Tax to the State. Now consider this: You go to, say - Target and you buy your detergent, some soda, a new shirt, a candy bar and the new Wayne Newton CD. You pay your bill, which includes about $5 in sales tax, and leave - satisfied with your purchase and pride in your contribution to the State budget. Here is the problem - Target "collected" the sales tax from you, but over a period time, Target has collected thousands of dollars in sales tax but has failed to ever hand over the collected tax to Arizona!
So - I say - get the Sales Tax that is already paid from the businesses first before trying to tax me to death! Little Mamacita and Pappa who run the local Taco Shack are not paying the collected sales tax either!!!!

If you collected the Tax - fork it over!!!!
