In order to be fair to the brick and mortor stores ,just remove the sales tax from them. it seems that each person who is elected feels that they must find new sources of income. I believe that they should do a better job of spending what they already have . direct and indirect taxes on working folks is above 60%. when they have it all they will have to stop taxing and they can only spend what they can borrow and we know where tha goes.

I couldn't agree more. The whole idea of a "sales" tax is revolting and alien to me. WHAT gives anyone the idea that the government should be owed money for a transaction between two private citizens is beyond me. Where did this notion come from?

To follow up with your thinking Destroyer:
"None more delusional than to ignore what they already know."

I am all for removing sales tax off brick and mortar stores, just not willing to hold my breath til' they get that done. I live in the real world where sales tax is a reality.

What rights do the:
Feds have to tax your income? Where did that notion come from?
States have to jack up the sin tax on cigs or alcohol?
Feds have to decide what is healthy for you and your children?
States have to set a speed limit on a highway?

I agree in severely downsizing our Govt.
I think the answer to all of the above is, Laws.
Repeal a couple hundred years of Federal and State Laws and send Congress home because they aren't near as smart as their predesessors that managed to get us to this point. First and Foremost- DO no harm.. Generations of BS laws swayed by the highest bidder.

What Willy said, just not as eloquently.

So E-bay sends me a form to fill out to let Congress know how much I dislike the Marketplace Fairness Bill. As a former E-bay customer they had my e-mail.

Not that I had any advance read of the bill but the one that passed the Senate calls for simplification of the Sales Tax. All but 6 States already have Use Tax in place already and the NEW law simply allows the States to collect the sales tax. IT DOES NOT GIVE FEDS THE AUTHORITY TO COLLECT SALES TAX.

Yet.........:devil:

:clap: Yet, true.

WOOT!!! We won one!!! After all the people and all the petitions bombarded Congress with millions of emails, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va) announced that his committee will not take up the Senate-passed tax on Internet sales.

WE, THE PEOPLE......did this.:party:
