Prepare to Pay Tax on Online Transactions
And you can thank the Democrats.

Generally speaking, it was headed in that direction anyway. If Democrats will accelerate it being completely mandatory regardless of who you are as a seller remains to be seen. But it's noted that not only a Democrat, but also Republican introduced a same kind of bill last year, so you can thank the Republicans as well.

um, I usually have to pay sales tax when I order something online. I don't have a problem with paying the same tax online as in the store. What exactly is your problem with this Nimrod?

Seriously, most decent online retailers make you pay tax. Get used to it.

My problem with this is that is most likely about to change. I'm surprised you don't have a problem with it. Do you love taxes? Do you enjoy spending more on every purchase? |

It is NOT "completely on t****, Nimrod. The fact that a Republican had anything to do with a bill that supports such an idea implies that, guess what, Republicans had something to do with this too. I never said Democrats were innocent in this, just that obviously, some Republicans want it too.

It kinda makes sense to pay sales tax on something online if you were going to pay it anyway by buying it at a store. This is pretty much a non-issue. I probably misunderstood what you were saying there, but yeah... you know. |

Uh, Internet sales tax isn't as serious as this war, first of all. Secondly, Democrats can always argue that the intelligence was not right, and they did not realize this until later. Also, this online sales tax bill was proposed by a member from both parties TO BEGIN WITH. Bush was asking the opposite party for authorization to go to war based on some shady intelligence. Apples and oranges.

I'm shocked it has taken this long for there to be some serious discussion about mandatory Internet sales tax, quite frankly.

Let's review what has happened here.
1. Republicans and Democrats introduce similar bills requiring sales tax for online purchases. 2. Some guy who doesn't work for the federal government says "hey maybe this is going to happen now". 3. Nimrod says that the democrats have raised taxes. I love watching American politics! |

Don't forget that alot of Netphorians dont mind paying extra sales tax because they still get their mommies and daddies to buy everything for them. So they really dont see the effect of a new sales tax on a $2000 online purchase. And alot of Netphos don't mind paying more in income taxes because alot of them don't have a job.

I'd much prefer the abolition of all income tax and move to a transaction-based tax system, which is FAR more fair. The national tax system is so out of whack. $60,000/yr in New York City is not the same as $60,000/yr in Mississippi, but to the IRS it sure is. |
