NY State subpoenas AirBnB user data; want the hotel tax $

AirBnB is being used by many people to run illegal hotels out of their apartment. No thanks - I don't need constant transients running through my apartment building.

And now you try to bring in the sales tax issue? You're already required to pay that under use tax laws. Sorry - services cost money. Don't like it, move somewhere else and/or vote for new officials.
 
Government leviathan again looking to shut down any and all businesses on the web unless they feed the beast that is the tax revenue collectors. Screw you citizens trying to buy something on Amazon, or rent a room on AirBnB, or any other web commerce you want to engage in - the government shakedown is here.

What's wrong with collecting tax?

You can have problem with the govt spending or outrageous tax rate.

But what's wrong with collecting their due tax?

Sure thing, just like the NSA evesdropping program is just about helping catch terrorists.
 
I'm a bit unclear on what your point is. Could you clarify? What is the problem with people paying their taxes?
