States Push for Net Sales Taxes

Marnhinn writes "Lawmakers in several states are asking Congress for the right to begin collecting sales tax on interstate internet purchases. CNN has the scoop."

Please thank Mr. George W Bush!

This is all George Bush's fault. By cutting federal taxes and forcing states to spend more money by implementing the homeland security without properly funding it with federal dollars, what he has forced states to do is raise taxes to fix the deficit.

Thank you Mr. George W. Bush for ruining the 8 years of Clintons tax free internet, causing us to lose 3 million jobs and counting, ruining our relations with the UN, and causing my state and sales taxes to raise just so you can give a tax cut to the rich who werent even asking for it.

Oh and also thanks for hiking my tuition, causing my property taxes to go out, raising the crime rates, and last but not least thanks for wasting billions of dollars on Iraq which could be given to states.

So what will Mr. George Bush's response be? His response will be "TAX CUTS!"

We know federal tax cuts just solve everything.

Millionaire is not rich, 1 million dollars is enough to buy maybe a nice house, alot of working families do have 1 million in assets, now if you have 5 or 10 million cash in the bank then maybe you are rich.

Go back to econ 101 - there is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone is gonna pay. It might not be great for the middle class if the costs are shifted to corporations. They might stop hiring. Note that countries with universal health have unemployment rates far higher than in the U.S. So you think a little more. Maybe Dean should too. Bush is no better with his free drug plan that will cost umpteen billions (cheaper than the Democrat plan though).
