I think a federal internet sales tax would be of tremendous benefit for all parties concerned.


Yes, thieves would love to get their hands on even more taxes.

There is no justification for this new tax other than "we want more money". Well, tough. I hope, if they implement this, we see a mass exodus of companies out of the country to avoid the complication and hassle of yet another immoral tax. Or, more likely, the corporate lobbyists will kill it in congress-- there is one good thing about lobbyists.

The government took over %70 of my income in direct taxes (And another %25 in indirect ones) last time I checked-- and they haven't returned squat to me-- just more laws preventing pilots from carrying guns, which caused 9/11 and a lot of hot air in congress.

But the really sad thing is so many of you enjoy being slaves-- you wouldn't have it any other way!

Too many americans are completely ignorant of economics (thanks to a public school system that didn't teach them squat) and of the intentions of the founding fathers, and thus we start to follow europe down spiraling down the socialism drain.
