Stop in for a cup of coffee

Oh but it is.
some states are even coming after those too, and even yard sales

yep. States looking for any way they can to tap more dollars. I was watching the live feed last year of Indiana when they wanted to raise the gas tax... again. One of the reps said that it shouldn’t be done, another replied “That’s our money and we need it now”. Other rep came back that it was the citizens money but the bill passed anyway. That’s literally the mind set of every politician regardless of color, greed or political party
They raised the tax on gas here again last year, called it a "fee", said it would generate x billions a year! Generate my ***!!! More like steal it from us!!!
