State taxes are done by the state government, not the federal. Oregon doesn't charge a tax because people there pay an income tax every year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Trump is proposing a large tax cut across the board to get the economy going. He isn't raising them at all. The last time we cut taxes in the US at a federal level was the 1980's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'm not happy about this, I'm pretty sure this also happened on Xbox Live sometime last year so I'm not surprised. Right, because text is so rich in nuance.

Nihiris- Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Was going to happen sooner or later to certain states. Not surprised and honestly no one should be. Edited March 3, 2017 by Death_Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RavenclawHobbit Posted March 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2017 I know discussing taxes ends up bringing politics into the discussion but please know enough about your own government at state and federal levels to know who to blame for your own states taxes. Also can we stop hating/loving trump. He is president, whether you love him or hate him your opinion really serves no relevance to this discussion and will only anger the opposing side causing an endless argument that has been going for a very long time. Love your neighbor no matter what sex, race, religion, or sexual preference they are. That is how you will truly make America great again. As far as the taxes are concerned I live in Missouri so it may be the one benefit to actually living here other than it being a cheap cost of living as a whole. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav9834 and psnprofiles are not liable for others actions From what I've read on Reddit that's not necessary since your PSN account isn't tied to a specific IP. You can be on your Vita traveling in Europe, but PSN isn't going to start charging you the EU prices as long as you're logged in with your American account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazingCat83 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I live in Missouri and didn't get that e-mail, so my guess is my state is unaffected. Either way, I buy more physical than digital, so I really don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
