Senate To Vote On Internet Sales Tax (For Real This Time)

Posted by timothy on from the even-more-of-other-people's-money dept.

New submitter JoeyRox writes "On 3/22 the Senate approved a non-binding proposal to allow states to tax online sales to residents outside their state. That vote was a trial balloon to gauge the support for the Marketplace Fairness Act. This week Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid filed a cloture to allow the law to be voted on for real this time. The vote may occur as soon as tomorrow. eBay is attempting to rally Americans against the bill via a massive email campaign."

    Thoughts:

    A) You are smart, but not so smart that you are part of the solution. No, you intelligence is not high enough to escape the gravity well of being part of the problem. You, sir, are part of the problem.

    B) Tax is paid by humans. If it is complicated, it is doing no one a favor.

    C) Requiring a textbook to figure out taxes is a fail.

    But most importantly ...

    D) Please have nice hot cup of shut the fuck up. Seriously, your over-thinking isn't helping. It really isn't. Go find a hobby that isn't destructive to other members of your species.

    That is all.
