Tax people TAX, they will attempt to tax you for setting up the porta potty, 
then tax you for the deliver of it, then tax you for the toilet paper inside 
that you may or may not use, then they will tax you a hazardous waste fee to 
dump it after the festival.

We all have to be smart enough to legally read their jargon and AVOID as much 
of it as possible, it can and is done every day by successful business folks, 
but you just have to research it and find a way around it otherwise they will 
tax you for everything twenty or thirty times.

Do not rollover for these folks who are totally non productive vultures 
preying upon the legal businesses and consumers to support themselves and justify 
their existence.

They inherently do everything they possibly can to inhibit successful 
business.
