Internet Sales Tax Gets a New Champion
Archness1 writes with an excerpt from Declan McCullagh's piece at CNET about the recently renewed push for a sales tax on Internet purchases, led by Massachusetts Representative Bill Delahunt. "At the moment, Americans who shop over the Internet from out-of-state vendors usually aren't required to pay sales taxes. Californians buying books from Amazon.com or cameras from Manhattan's B&H Photo, for example, won't be required to cough up the sales taxes that they would if shopping at a local mall." That could all change, though.
Churches do more than preach superstition. [snip].
Boy do they! Lobbying government, paying off elected officials, raising campaign contributions, assaulting minors, writing laws to support their favorite superstitions, exporting their influence to foreign lands under the guise of charity... churches are very busy!
Only if you tax atheism too.
Soon as we see evangelical atheists or an atheist temple, or maybe some atheist campaign contribution scandal. Hey, how about some atheist child molestation organization?
Then, definitely tax atheists.
