The newly “rebranded” republicans love taxes almost as much as they love “gay marriage” and illegal aliens.
How about if Sarah states here position BEFORE the vote.
The (Republican) clowns in the Senate have NO IDEA how to vote on things like this, and they will default to big government without some guidance.
Is this a new tax or just a method of collecting the tax that most are supposed to be paying don’t.
In 2002, many state governments came together to fight against the tax-free internet shopping trend. They formed together and made the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA), also known as the Streamlined Sales Tax Project (SSTP). As of 2005, there were 44 states that participated in SSTP. ******
there is no difference between republicans and democrats in washington dc they are all cut from the same cloth
Both my senators voted for it, even after I wrote a couple letters requesting they not. I gave them real life reasons it was bad. In response I got a form letter explaining from one why they support it, but it was the left’s talking points! Way to go, RINOS!
Those who think this bill will go down in flames in the House of Representatives completely underestimate the Obama ballsack-licking complete incompetence of House Speaker John Boehner.
So I'll go on record right here, right now: If the House of Representatives passes this bill, I will *never* vote Republican again. Period. I'll vote whatever third-party there is on the ballot whether it be Green Party, Constitution Party, Tea Party, whatever ... who knows -- may as well vote for the damn' Communist Party because at least they're HONEST about what they want to transform the country into!
Republican Party is a joke. Party of liberty and economic freedom my arse.
Both of our magnificent RINO POS’s voted for it.
I’m afraid this will make it through the House.
The Representatives are under a tremendous amount of pressure from their home states to pass this bill. They want their sales taxes.
‘08 and ‘12 - WRONG CANDIDATE AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET!
Much of the problem is that the conservative vote gets split in the primary and the moderate gets the nomination; to loose the the hard core leftist! Will we ever learn?
Does anyone know if internet purchases shipping
charges figured into the discussions?
Agreed: no new taxes, no tax increases.
If it passes, no local purchases of non-routine items for me despite the tax. I’ll buy from other, freer states and counties that have fewer regulations and taxes, and I’ll do so through telephone and/or mail order. I will also continue to become more self-sufficient and frugal every month. Simply position to consume less for a legal and honorable embargo against revenues.
Under the Constitution States can charge taxes in interstate sales but Congress can claim the money. This is all about setting up the sales tax, blaming the Sates for it, then swooping in and taking the cash.
