People if you want to improve you're financial health stop listening to people who are poor. One, if they are poor how can they know anything about the economy or finance. Their own finances is amess. How can they have an opinion of value. Their thoughts are born of jealousy, vengeance, feelings of victimization and lack of financial understanding.
It is common sense, if you want to become financially better off don't listen to people who are poor.
Now Obama and congress are going to tax internet sales???
When is enough going to be enough for the pigs? Thought Obama wasn't going to raise taxes ,
This is the biggest tax increase ever. I buy and sell online. The government is going to hurt small us businesses because people will choose to buy direct from international sellers instead. Everyone loses. Fat government pigs win.
Why don't you read the proposed legislation before you complain? The legislation doesn't collect any federal taxes at all. There is no federal tax involved. Instead the proposal makes it easier for states to enforce existing laws on sales taxes and/or require out of state sellers to collect sales tax.
I buy tons of stuff on the internet. But I have no problem with eliminating the economic advantage out of state sellers have over local retailers. I am sensitive to a local seller losing business because of an 8% advantage for out of state sellers that have no local positive economic impact.
If you are a small business you probably won't be affected anyways. Quit whining. Streamline your business. I don't know what you sell, but what do you sell that someone would go international for instead?
That's just it--the demand for this is coming from the retailers with brick and mortar stores.
I know people who run brick and mortars and a long time ago they were told that the Internet was an important part of business but they did not want to keep up with the times so they are now feeling the effects of their poor decision and a couple of them are out of business.
When in business keep up with the times or go out of business. It's as simple as that.
If the bill was going to equal out the fairness, then it would LOWER the sales taxes already being paid and then raised the rates for online sales to balance out in the middle. The fact that the revenues dotn go to the federal government doesnt mean they dont have to be paid and companies like mine wont have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to comply with the 10,000 different taxing jurisdiction in the nation.
Yeah, you never have a problem high 5ng policies that are harmful to small businesses, why is that?
Sorry, Congress has no authority to lower state sales taxes.
You just flat don't get it. Never have, never will.
I can promise you one thing, without question: A federal tax on internet sales isn't far behind. Only a complete, utter, total fool wouldn't see it coming.
Oh, and btw: Amazon does NOT collect tax. None.
Tell that to the people of the following states:
Arizona
California
Kansas
Kentucky
New York
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
Texas
Washington
Maybe next time you will actually research something before you make such a proclamation.

So, after all the good information members have given you here, will you be throwing in the towel, or charge 15 cents more per item?
Sorry, Congress has no authority to lower state sales taxes.
Nothing is stopping them from writing legislation which authorizes states to collect sales taxes across the borders provided they even out what theyc ollect. For gods sakes, stop being dumb
