Evolution Of The Online Tax Debate

rhwalker22 writes "Last November, the Streamlined Sales Tax Project drafted a plan to make it easier for states to cooperate in collecting sales taxes on products sold over the Internet. That plan is now headed to governors and state legislatures for debate. While that debate begins, the sales tax group is moving into new territory, debating how to apply sales taxes to digital services, like music and software downloads, and IP telephony. Most states participating in the sales tax project have sent representatives to Tampa, Fla., this week to take up this subject, according to a report by washingtonpost.com."

What to tax

[mirko]

I think it would be more fair to tax stock-exchange based revenue instead of Internet sales.
It is IMHO not normal not to be taxed, even a little, when you makes thousands out of your shares ...
Maybe this smells like a troll but it is not : it is the base for a debate and I'd sincerely love to understand more about this issue..
