You'll probably see some of the European nations doing the same thing.  Cheers!

Welcome to the club.....

 

Eventually the States will be the odd one out.  I am still rolling my eyes over Amazon's US customers not being taxed.

-Hopefully, we will continue to LEAD! When growth for government is ASSUMED at a 5%-7% level every year, eventually you will run out of other people's money! Let's see zero growth out of government, and tell young people to start saving NOW for their GOLDEN YEARS! I know I am, that is one of the reasons I come to sites like this instead of watching sports and reality shows every night.

Oh, and I love Amazon!

 

Cheers, and to all a Happy, Safe, and Prosperous New Year!
