I went several years without getting any mod points, then a few months ago started getting them again. Can't remember if I had any since the outage last week.
Technically, if we're going to bother considering what the U.S. Constitution has to say on the matter, a sales tax is not authorized as it is not a tariff, excise tax, or income tax - the only three taxes currently authorized.
As an aside, I find it interesting that parent comment gets voted up while A.C. comment directly above it gets voted down into oblivion. I guess the current crop of slashdot mods prefers unconstitutional sales tax to world peace.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
