Stop the train cuz I want off! (Score 2)

As a new North Carolina resident in the high tech industry, I can say from experience that the taxes here are ALREADY outrageous. My wife is a teacher, and lemme tell you, the income is most certainly not going to pay public servents. North Carolina Teachers have one of the worst pay rates in the counrtry, she took a $10k pay cut to come here. I understand that the Police and fire services will not be retiring early to Tahiti either. The sad part of the situation is the annoying tendency for we the people to do nothing as long as we still get Wheel of Fortune at 7. This policy and law have truly offended me, especially in light of the reasons given, which are ambiguous at best. If they taxed e-commerce to provide better phone or network services, perhaps I could see the process with more understanding, however I have no intention to fund someone's pet project with my family's income. Wasn't there just rioting in Seattle about this? E-commerce is flamboyant and obnoxious at its worst, but at its best it can equalize the playing field in business for the world. It's simply too important to let trends such as this pass unprotested.
