Damn straight. You and I and Lynne Truss, guy!
I have been trying for years to talk my wife into moving out of this Democrat hell hole - they keep raising taxes and I maybe able to do it
Wow. Those scumbag Democrats and their taxes.
Always with the taxes.....
Elect dems, watch your taxes go up.
I propose a tax on stupid ideas. It would lead to a tax surplus and a bankrupt Democratic party.
Democrats propose tax bill — well, of course! lol
Has Congress approved of this compact? If not it is unconstitutional.
Can someone please fill me in on the history of state taxation of Internet puchases? When was it first approved by Congress, if ever?
If this passes in Connecticut — it will roll across the country.
I buy almost everything online these days — especially big-ticket items — to avoid paying any local sales tax. I buy almost nothing locally, except food. My state just wastes all the state tax revenues, anyway.
Why should I pay for education (I don’t have kids), infrastructure (I’ll move to a different state if it gets really bad), government pension funds (let them eat cat food), hospitals (only illegals use them anyway), police (I have a gun), firemen (I rent and have insurance), parks and libraries (I never use them)?
Sales tax is evil.
Then we will see really how much they want the money, and if they have the guts to really stand up for their convictions.
Actions once again need to connected to consequences for this government to mean anything!
Let’s just call it INVESTMENTS, then all is fine in this world.
I suspect this is in reference to the Streamlined Sales Tax that a unch of blue states are hoping to force internet businesses to collect. See here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/01/AR2005070101475.html
Democrats are slime.
Minor leaguers.
The rats in my state want to tax haircuts, bottled water in offices and the fish you catch, plus buy i-pods for every kid.
And it’s all Bush’s fault.

Reporters aren't expected to know good grammar. That's the province of Mr. Davis' editor.
Nowadays, a Journalism degree is a badge of ignorance.
I’m surprised our governor (MI), Canadian Trash Jenny, isn’t coming up with a scheme to enforce this. She’s pushing for a 2% sales tax on services, so why should she stop there?
We’ve got a line on our state income tax form to “voluntarily” put down the amount we owe on internet purchases. Given her love of socialism and taxes, I’m shocked she hasn’t found a way to enforce it.
Not at all.My late mother was a big stickler on grammer.I hated it then, but 35 years later I am so glad she was.
Finally it dawned on me... Now I understand why Al Gore “invented” the internet. Another source of TAX revenue... seems like that’s the only thing they’re good at. We should call them Taxacrats.

That book ought to be required reading for every 'English' teacher and every editor on the planet!
