Warming Battle Over Online Taxes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the taxman-cometh-and-he-is-irritable dept.

mackertm writes "The NYT (free registration, blah blah) has an interesting story about the fight over Internet taxation. A coalition of states and some big clicks-and-mortar retailers are leading the charge to simplify the process of collecting taxes online. Amazon, Dell, and eBay are the biggest pure e-tailers resisting this movement. It's fun to see Amazon try and talk about how difficult it would be to implement taxes for all states, when it's already doing it for Target and Toys 'R Us."

    why don't people post non-reg links to these NYT stories?

    Because they realize that some people are intelligent enough to set up a NYT account of their own using bogus information, or even go to Google to get a reg free link. Does your mommy pick out your clothes for you in the morning too?

    Hey "nicedream", I had a pretty nice dream the other day. I dreamed that you actually had somethingmeaningful to add to a discussion instead of just your typical karma-whore NY Times Archive link. Then I woke up.

    Tell me, do you sit there poised in front of your PC, just waiting for a NY Times article-based story to be posted so you can jump right in with your oh-so-helpful archive link, saving the day and racking up another easy 5 karma points?

    Fuck you.
