All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

If only words had meaning.

I got an email from my RINO senator with the usual talking points about how it wasn’t really a tax increase and they were just making it “fair” for the poor merchants who sold locally.

well, in this case, that doesn’t apply - they aren’t raising Federal taxes but rather passing a statute to allow states to collect taxes on online sales across state lines.

This is not a bill to raise federal revenue. It is to permit states to collect taxes from on-line retailers.
