Tax, tax, tax. Spend, spend, spend.

They've never seen a tax they didn't like. If justice was truly served, they'd all be in prison.

[traditional1]

Fine.

I'll be buying on Craigslist, to avoid taxes....until they jump on that, too.

[madison10]

A pox on their houses. Politicians never saw a tax they didn’t like, or think of first.

[Red Steel]

Better be DOA in the House.

[thegrump]

From my High School History I seem to recall that this Country once fought a war over Taxes, Tyranny and Guns!!!

[MNDude]

This sounds like it could be a nightmare for small businesses everywhere.

What happens if you get a statement from Iowa saying you owe them $2000, and another from Florida saying you owe them $700 when you believe you don’t. Will you have to defend yourself against all 50 states?

[Flint]

If the states are going to get $10.1 billion the Feds must be raking off double that to pay for the bureaucracy that will be needed to administer it. And of course there will be a "service" charge that will be discovered in 6 months to be added by the Feds cause they don't get enough.

Funny they don't mention who is going to administer the program.

[Flint]

And this is also a foot in the door to institute a national sales tax on top of all the other taxes we are forced to pay.

[tflabo]

Maybe its time to go underground somewhat. Trade and barter with family, friends and associates and skip the government extortion’s whenever possible. Starve the beast ay?

[dadfly]

wait a minute. where is this bill being introduced? boehner controls the house where revenue bills have to originate. is boehner for this?

[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”

[b4its2late]

The WH has never seen a tax that it doesn’t like.

[savedbygrace]

The States have been whining for this. Evil gluttons, just like our “reps” in D. C.

“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increases. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” - Barack Hussein Obama, Sept. 12, 2008

“If your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not a single dime.” - Barack Hussein Obama, Feb. 24, 2009

Small time operators who make their living on bulk purchases that sell more than 1 million that have razor thin margins are gonna get screwed over, they are gonna need obamacare to install a new asshole in them after this.

[GatorGirl]

They’re quick to say “it’s not a Federal tax. If that’s the case why not leave it to the States? Just more Federal intrusion into the domain of the States.

[plain talk]

Need to watch which Republicans go wobbly on this one

[PastorBooks]

And just how are all the Mom & Pop online stores going to know what the sales tax is supposed to be for tens of thousands of local districts?

[plain talk]

what gets me is our side (they few we have) are always on the defensive trying to hold them off. I know our real numbers are small. But it would be encouraging if even a few of them introduced and spoke of TAX CUTS. It may be futile but we need to somehow try to shift the debate to growth and lower taxes - even if it is only a few people yapping about it and finding clever ways to get on air. Impossible given this environment? perhaps. but we should never give up
