  7. Re:To be honest. on Amazon Pushes For National Internet Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    Our masters would turn a national sales tax into a bigger pain in the ass than the IRS.

    The issue that comes to mind is "Sales tax relief for the needy" that will require you to keep records of all your purchases--- so you can ---- wait for it ---- file a tax return.

    "Too many people are skirting the law and not paying their fair share via private currencies, barter and black market purchases, these new measures I put in place will create a new government agency that will monitor these activities""

    You get the idea...

  8. Re:Solves some big problems, creates new small one on Amazon Pushes For National Internet Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    Ok, here is how it will play out.

    1) Institution of a National Sales Tax
    2) Measure to revoke local sales taxes abandoned.
    3) We start paying local AND federal sales taxes

    Also, consider the flat tax idea. Will it RAISE your taxes or LOWER them? I betcha a frosty cold domestic it will raise YOUR tax burden( an lower Herman Cain's )

    Agreed, now if you REALLY, REALLY want to put the little know-it-all in his place, go ahead an put him in a public school. Preferably one named after an African-American hero. That'll cool his jets -doing long division for a semester or two. He'll come out HATIN math.

    Good Luck!

    *Warning* For those using this technique to jerk mo money out of your current employer- BE WARNED- you might just get a "goodbye" lunch instead of a counter-offer.

    I worked with an underachiever-despite-being-quite-experienced guy, who played this game about every year and our employer tended to go along and up his pay. That is, until one day we bought him lunch, a firm slap on the back ,a firm handshake and a 'bon voyage'. We were surprised to see him back at the office afterward... kinda hanging out... waiting for something to happen. Poor slob, the brinkmanship didn't quite pan out. He lasted about 6 months at the next position.. I wondered if it wasbecause he tried the same crap on them.
