Internet Taxation May Be Imminent

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the coming-and-going dept.

redfenix writes " Here, there, and everywhere, the words "Internet Tax" are being uttered with intentions of bolstering state budgets. It may be inevitable that products purchased on the net will be taxed someday. The real question is: can the fragile internet economy really help local tax economies now?"

    The more taxes we pay, the more Iraqi we can eradicate. Thanks Mr. Bush.

    Yeah, uh huh. You know how much sales tax is used to "eradicate Iraqis?" Let me give you a guess. It's less than a penny, which is exactly how much we will award you for your complete understanding of the difference between "federal" taxes and "state" taxes. But your anti-Bush joke is duly noted and promptly discarded.

    Tip: For anything to be humorous, it must be at least vaguely based on truth. Otherwise you're just flapping your gums again.
