[Redleg Duke]

Government is a cancer on society. Like cancer, it can only grow and grow until the host dies.

Government is incapable of reducing spending...it can only increase spending and tax to support the growth.

When the economy collapses, as it must do, the host dies.

[OneWingedShark]

lots of ‘bipartisanship’ going around now days.

Ah, that new STD we were warned about.

[mort56]

I thought all revenue bills need to be initiated by the House to be legal. Oh, yeah, that’s right...America voted for a man who doesn’t believe in our Constitution. Never mind.

Ought to insist that as part of this reform, sales by Indian tribes to nonmembers ought to be subject to all state taxes.

[GOPJ]

... the unintended consequences of this is that the kids that make under $200,000 will finally realize that their taxes went up and that Obama lied.

LOL - one can dream.

[JustSayNoToNannies]

S. 743 is an attempt at internet tax collecting which would overturn the Supreme Court’s 1992 decision in Quill v. North Dakota that forcing businesses to collect and remit taxes to jurisdictions where they have no physical presence was too big a burden.

Flat wrong. From the linked ruling: "Congress is now free to decide whether, when, and to what extent the States may burden interstate mail order concerns with a duty to collect use taxes."

This is the most stupid bill. This does not level the playing field. It encourages buying OUTSIDE THE USA.

This should be called the US OUTSOURCING and ECCONOMY destruction bill.

[17th Miss Regt]

Or, they could have a little fun and demand that any Senate confirmations be sent to the House to be voted upon.

That is brilliant!

[TurboZamboni]

at least STDs can sometimes be stopped with medicine.

nothing stops the growth of this gubbamint.

[Christie at the beach]

Our government always finding new ways to help

small business. Not. I will contact my repres now.

[longtermmemmory]

whoever wrote this has no clue that businesses exist outside the USA. particularly small business.

or worse.

They have invested in the companies in and out of the usa that would benefit.

This is the i got mine tax to boot.

[longtermmemmory]

this is like that out and out lie commercial promoting NYS.

lower taxes HA!
tax exemptions HA!

[Stand Watch Listen]

ALWAYS, in All WAYS, it's about getting more revenue and NEVER about spending reductions. NEVER about reducing government fraud/waste/abuses. The Democrats can't grow the economy so they, as usual, will tax whatever they can!

Once again, increasing tax revenue for the ever expanding Government entitlement programs.

And once again….”The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money”
