    Taxes

    What are your thoughts about paying taxes? I know that there are people who will try to avoid it at all costs - both legal and illegal. But I also know that there are times when there is a legitimate need for taxes, e.g., pay for roads.

    Review sites

    What are your thoughts about review sites? For example, the site has it's landing page designed so there are three different items for sale with the webmaster's review of each product. Do you think these are more credible than just a sales page?
