Assume what you are being told about any political issue is a lie or at least a half-lie and you will generally be with the smart money.
The internet sales tax proposal is (a) a Dem/Rino idea to suck more money from the peoples’ pockets into the Govt bucket; and (b) backed by large retailers as a way to damage if not destroy smaller businesses? How you say? Simple. The myth is that only big businesses sell by internet. The truth is that smaller businesses aka “brick and mortar” businesses also sell via internet, as well as over the counter. And many smaller businesses have only an internet sales outlet, particularly tiny businesses that can’t really afford the high cost of commercial real estate purchase/rental/leasing.
Forcing significant and complex taxing mandates on smaller businesses will hurt them FAR more than big businesses, with who the small fry are trying to compete.
The whole affair is just another screw job done to the American people. As is Obama’s Cr*pcare. As will be the Gang of 8’s Amnesty for the est. 11 to 30 million undocumented Democrats and the tens of millions more of their extended families.
BTW, the idiot Republicans who think amnesty will get them the Mexican vote should realize it will not. They were become Dem Party takers. And swell the ranks of the gimmie whites, blacks, hispanics, orientals, etc who vote for handouts.
Do you think the idiot Republicans care? Isn’t it likely that once amnesty is in place, they’ll just change parties and help the Dems pass more entitlements for the newest citizens?
