In reply to An European Citizen.

For the record, I was born and raised in Europe (Cyprus to be precise), and now live in California.

My servers are in the US (Arizona to be exact). So when anybody from overseas arrives at my website which includes Europeans, they "digitally" have to cross the Atlantic ocean and enter the US and purchase my products and services. Therefore the transactions are happening in the US and not Europe, thus any laws that should apply are US laws and that's it. Therefore, it's up to EU then to impose import taxes on their citizens, and not impose export taxes on the US based businesses.

Besides all that, what makes the EU think that it has any jurisdiction over any US based businesses that has no physical presence in Europe? Is the EU that naive or stupid to think that they can force me to pay any taxes to them under any circumstance? I don't leave in Europe, my business and servers are not in Europe, and yet these socialist/semi-communist clowns think they can "colonize" me and digitally make me their "digital slave"... what a joke !

But I do agree with you on one point... we (at least I) simply don't care about your laughable, unrealistic, over reaching laws. So, what are you going to do about it? Before you get "tribal" again, remember, I am from Europe myself !
