OBAMA APPROVES OF ANOTHER FEDERALIZED TAX ON MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS........

Actually, it does.

Remember this thread on the same issue?

(You should, since you started it just a couple of weeks ago.)

Note the question I posed here:

You never answered it. It's pretty simply, really. Why do you support giving specific competitive advantages to one class of merchants (internet sellers) while denying them to another? Originally Posted by CaptainMidnight

You can always tell when Whineaway is out on a limb ... He posts half of the entries in his own thread.

Keep reaching, Whineaway. One of these days, you'll get it right.

HEY CJ, and so you really think the money is going to go "for schools, roads, law enforcement, fire protection, snow removal and public utilities, etc, out of their profit margin?" YOU MUST BE KIDDING!!!!!! The states are planning NEW spending from the potential revenues!! They can't pay for what they are buying already, yet instead of plugging the potential revenue in to pay off deficits, they immediately try to pass new spending programs. And that, Sir, is why new taxes as a solution to the deficit problem is a complete non starter. They aren't going to use it to reduce the deficit at all. Va MD and DC have already spent the money before it gets passed.

Quote from The Examiner:
"Officials in Virginia, Maryland and the District are all counting on approval of the tax. Virginia and Maryland have already approved transportation plans that require hundreds of millions in new revenue from the online sales tax. The D.C. Council will soon take up a proposal to use revenue from the internet sales tax to eliminate homelessness in the District."

And if you think for one minute that our present government is looking out for us, you are sadly mistaken, their paramount interest is in getting our money and giving it to themselves, other levels of government, or "their partners in crime" aka, corporations who will donate the money back to them. Political corruption is rampant at every level, in this country.

And besides, why should on-line retailers get a tax subsidy compared to bricks-and-mortar establishments?

No CJ, it's another motherfucking money grab, by these cocksucker politicians. Aren't you fucking people tired of working hard, and being forced to turn over a majority of what you rightfully earn? Originally Posted by seedman55

That's why I support sales taxes. You've got to get SOME tax revenue from the bottom 50%.

So now the mom and pops will have to pay even more..........dumbfuck.

This law is aimed at the very "mom + pop" businesses that you think are over taxed; the big retailers are the ones pushing this tax....NOT the mom and pop business. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

Mom and pop businesses are actually storefront businesses, as are the big retailers.

The purely on-line companies are directly killing the mom and pop stores by swallowing up their customer base.

Taxing the Internet sales makes on-line purchases comparatively more expensive - so that HELPS mom-and-pop (i.e., REAL) stores.

And it reduces pressure to hike INCOME tax rates.

What's not to like?

Shipping costs offset the whole internet retailer advantage issue. Adding sales tax will put internet commerce at a disadvantage to brick-and-mortar stores. Maybe thats not a bad thing. We'll see who is complaining the loudest then.

And it reduces pressure to hike INCOME tax rates. Originally Posted by ExNYer

Because it is a tax on the middle class; that is why shithead.

Tens of thousands are very small buisness owners.

You're in good shape Seedy,

States must provide free computer software to help retailers calculate sales taxes, based on where shoppers live. States must also establish a single entity to receive Internet sales tax revenue, so retailers don't have to send it to individual counties or cities.

You're only going to have to run 45 different state tax programs on your computer. (5 states do not collect sales tax)
Along with 45 new mailing addresses and monthly checks to write. Piece of cake.

FACT

The three biggest uses of sales tax revenue are transportation expenditures (highways, roads and bridges), public education and aid to local governments, police, fire depts., etc.

if you have a business (online or otherwise) that collects tax at the point of sale from customers youre covered..

if you have a business that doesn't collect taxes at the point of sale, you pay STILL PAY FOR the aforementioned roads bridges, education, police etc, WITHOUT the benefit of any additional funding provided by a sales tax, ergo your profit margin takes the hit.


how fucking hard is that to understand?,
