Exempt Green Apple Books from CA sales tax now!

The Issue

Amazon is spending $3,000,000+ trying to collect 500,000+ signatures to overturn the new CA law that requires them to collect sales tax. Green Apple Books thinks we, too, should be exempt. Here's why:

* More than two-thirds of Green Apple’s staff do not have children and therefore should not really contribute tax money to public education;
* Most of the staff members do not own cars, so maintaining good roads isn’t that important. They could just walk;
* Statistics suggest that booksellers are 36% less likely to use emergency services than antiques dealers;
* Although many of the staff at Green Apple do in fact enjoy state and local parks, they sort of think someone other than the bookstore’s customers should pay to maintain them;
