COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

They have been trying to get people to pay their sales tax on internet purchases in the state of Florida. Someone humbly suggested people might pay if they made it easier. Don’t jump on the people are stupid wagon. I spent three, yes 3, hours trying to pay my sales tax online and I have a commercial account, I have an efile account and I have been paying this way for three years. I had to have George print the form out for me, bring it home, where I filled it out and then mailed it! I also enclosed a note that I NEVER want to see their web site again! I ordered forms. What went wrong? First it said I didn’t have an account and couldn’t sign in. So I clicked on edit your account and it pulls my account up. Then I was send to an error page. For almost an hour I tried to use their error reporting form to no avail. It did not
like how I was describing the problem. Finally, I just threw my hands up and quit. They are going to get a lot of people paying tax on their internet purchases that way!
Did you know Haiti once produced enough rice to feed its population? After the revolution, the USA forced them to remove the tariff on imported rice flooding the country with cheap American rice and bankrupting the native farmers. This was because due to embargo against Cuba our rice farmers lost their largest Caribbean market for rice and were going broke. So we sent in the Navy and broke the revolution unless they agreed to our terms. Now Haiti imports just about all its rice putting another nail in her economic coffin. The more you know about what led up to this economic crisis, the sicker and madder you are going to get.
