The Democrats on this committee feel their tax cuts will more than offset the loss of the $50-clothing exemption

Aahh, feeeeeeelings. No facts, just feelings.

Will they ever stop coming up with ways to steal my money?

[Red Badger]

Does CT tax food and medicine, too?.........

[tflabo]

Axe the DemoTax.... the communist liberals would Tax to the Max with their hax....

[EagleUSA]

Oh, did we not predict the pinko socialists could not keep their tyrannical taxing fingers off of the internet. They are so TOTALLY PREDICTABLE.

TAX, TAX, TAX, TAX, TAX, TAX....right out of the Communist Manifesto.

[subterfuge]

This makes sense for Dems. A HUGE part of their base does not use the internet and they pay NO taxes anyway. Do I need to list who they are? I don’t think so.

[Baladas]

I don’t live in CT, but there goes another state government nickel and diming the residents to death.

I don’t even understand this one - even if they want to start taxing items purchased throught the internet, why would they then HAVE to get rid of the exemption for clothes under 50 dollars? Couldn’t that be exempt as well?

IP spoofers will become very popular in CT.

[God luvs America]

bump....

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

How about a STUPID BILL TAX on every GD new tax proposal these thieves come up with?

Let's wait and see who they steal it from after they have it all.

The Democrat's new plan calls for extending the 6% sales tax

The writer of this article, Chief Capitol Correspondent Mark Davis, apparently learned grammar in a government school. Since the plan is undoubtedly the brainchild of more than one democrat, the apostrophe goes after the "s."

Interestingly enough, in a later paragraph, Mr. Davis writes:

Today the Finance Committee gives final approval to the Democrats tax plan that eliminates that exemption.

That time he didn't even bother with the apostrophe, probably because he had no idea where to put it.

What passes for journalism in 2007 wouldn't have made it through fifth grade in 1957.

(Sorry, Puppage, I don't want to co-op your thread by being the grammar police. I just can't stand the stupidity any more. I know you just transcribed the article as written.)

[sure_fine]

again?????

[EGPWS]

In order to do that, lawmakers will have to eliminate the exemption for clothing that costs less than $50.

When free commerce is made illegal via taxation, only "legals" will be criminals.

Doesn't say much for the rule of law but...

[Quick or Dead]

Remember that old joke about how the politicians would eventually find a way to tax sunlight and air? I think they’re headed in that direction.

"Will they ever stop coming up with ways to steal my money?"

Short answer... NO!
Long answer ... Hell NO!

[socialismisinsidious]

Why think when you can emote? Ideology feels so good.

[Jacquerie]

I must be behind the power curve on this issue.

Am I correct in assuming that Congress has allowed via the commerce clause for every state in the union to charge the various sales taxes on every business that sends merchandise to its citizens?

[socialismisinsidious]

we think if we provide relief through another tax mechanism

Sure it has worked so well up to now....trillions of tax dollars spent on welfare and look how many ARE STILL ON WELFARE.

[underbyte]

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

[Lancey Howard]

Wow. Those scumbag Democrats and their taxes.
Always with the taxes.....

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Elect dems, watch your taxes go up.

[magslinger]

I propose a tax on stupid ideas. It would lead to a tax surplus and a bankrupt Democratic party.
