But, Congress found a way to tap into it!
NO to ANY additional taxes!
In fact, we are in dire need of a balanced budget amendment!
Indeed we are!

Spoken like a true commie. ... I mean socialist. The tax should be uniform across all states and not based on income.
Food and clothes should not be taxed.
10 sales tax on everything remove the income tax and that is it.
I see no reason to have the government involved in the internet it runs itself just fine. which must be why the government wants to handle on it. TOO MUCH FREE SPEECH and inventive ideas and FREEDOM.
The internet might be the only left in America that is sort of free.

I agree. We need a uniform tax across the board.

If we add new taxes, Washington will find some way to go blow the money. Like, they would just use it to buy a $600 toilet or something stupid like that. Would you give a drunken sailor more money?

All states charge the buyer a sales tax on purchases made online, but many have no way of enforcing it without a consumer voluntarily notifying the state that the transaction took place.

No.

Sales taxes are State taxes that are supposed to provide for local infrastructure, etc.

We don't need the Federal Government now wanting to add yet another tax, and for what?

T.E.A.! Damnit! Get the government out of my pocket!

I very much agree with you. No at this time i will not. Get this budget in check, and prove to me, that you can use the additional money in a very responsible way. At this point i do not believe that they deserve not even a penny.

I pay taxes on Internet purchases (New York State) already. At least, I know I do on everything I buy from Amazon, and Saks.
