In North Carolina, the tax man cometh. And this week he actually went home empty handed.
The ACLU, who joined the case, says there is no dispute over the state’s right to collect taxes, but rather over the information it seeks. “[T]here is no legitimate reason why government officials need to know which North Carolina residents are reading which books or purchasing which specific brands of products,” Katy Parker, legal director for the ACLU of North Carolina Legal Foundation, told the AP.
Nothing has been settled on the tax front, but the right of people to keep what they are reading, watching and listening to private from the government did get a little more certain.
