Fox News - While the nation was captivated by the debt crisis – and whether tax increases would be part of any deal to reduce federal deficits – a group of Democratic senators and congressmen have rolled out legislation that would raise new revenues by targeting online sales from retailers like Wal-Mart and Best Buy. These lawmakers say that states are losing billions in uncollected state and local sales tax on Internet sales and are touting the support of online retailers like Amazon who say they’re fine with an across-the-board system that would make tax collections simple. “Consumers shouldn’t have to face the burden of reporting all of their online purchases. Main Street retailers collect sales taxes on behalf of consumers, why shouldn’t online retailers do the same,” Durbin said in a statement Friday.
You guys all hear that? Better get on over to
The Alt-Tab Shoppe quick before the burden is on you to pay the sales tax on quality items such as the classic Alt-Tab baseball shirt, the Alt-Tab Oval sticker, and the best Selling Alt-Tab Coffee mug...Sure they're overpriced now, but it'll be even worse once the tax burden is on you, the consumer.
Love this lawmaker who assumes consumer are at home worrying about setting aside money to pay state retail taxes on items they buy online, what a nerd...Yea buddy, I got a huge tally going, don't worry you'll get your check this January...You kidding me bro? Paying taxes for shit you buy online is for suckers.
