Subsidize the anachronistic Post Office and tax the hell out of efficient Amazon - who will in turn pass on that tax to every consumer.

Yeah, that will help the economy.

“it would level the playing field among online and retail stores by ensuring that both pay sales taxes”

How about no one pays sales tax, @#$@hole?

If it passes, boycott the locals. Let the officious criminals make the next move. [There’s no next move that won’t end without the commie/fascist crooks being brought to justice.]

Didn’t Boehner say he was done with tax increases?

Also, since this is a revenue bill, how can it originate in the Senate?

How can we get rid of that illegal POS who is trashing America/the White House?

GAH!!!

My only consolation is that the Good Lord is keeping Tabs on everything Zero does and says. It may not help us now, but NO ONE can escape the Final Judgement.

Every knew this was coming

Wait until corrupt biggov attempts to censor nearly everything on the net and they announce they want to assign everyone and Internet ID.

They’re not too happy since even those drooling in cups have seen CNN and the media are hysterical, biased, corrupt, pro big government and basically do and say as government tells them to.

“Today, while local small-business retailers follow the law and collect sales taxes from customers who make purchases in their stores, many big-business online and catalogue retailers do not collect the same taxes,” White House press secretary Jay Carney. “This puts local, neighborhood-based small businesses at a disadvantage to big, out-of-state, online companies.”

So we need even BIGGER Government for "fairness"...

That's the first thing Jay Carney has ever said that made any sense!

Who gets the money? State with the store, state with the purchaser, FedGov?

Let’s level the playing field by getting rid of all federal sales taxes on brick and mortar stores.

If states want sales taxes on internet businesses, then that’s the states business.

If they want to forego that for now because BUSINESS (any business activity whatsoever) and JOBS are more important, then leave that to the states.

The Fed is just looking for another revenue source.

“Leveling the field” is just BS.

Sellers only need to keep track of 10,000 separate tax codes in the United States. They are trying to break the backs of internet sellers and drive customers away. If something is working, our congress and president must destroy it.

*************

Really...small-business retailers? NOT! Walmart is probably behind this as well as those money grubbing democrats. I believe Obama is “gifting” this bill for Walmart because they backed obamacare and I believe Walmart is also extremely interested in pushing the immigration bill.(cheap Mexican labor)

Is purchasing downloads a purchase? Is renting Netflix or other tv channels via streaming media going to be a purchase? IF so, I guess I won't be purchasing Spongebob Squarepants from amazon.

Does anyone know if this affects movie and tv show downloads? This could kill Netflix. It would be cheaper for people to go to Red Box at their corner store and rent a movie outright.

Is downloading movies/tv a rental or a purchase????? What about i-tunes? This might be bigger than ebay and amazon. Way bigger.

Which brick and mortar business files quarterly sales tax forms to thousands of separate tax jurisdictions. This does not level the playing field, it kills off the small businesses that provide most of America’s jobs. Meanwhile big business bailouts and crony capitalism run rampant.
