New Yorkers going Christmas shopping online at Amazon.com will find an 8.375% surprise at the virtual cash register, courtesy of Governor Spitzer, who is moving aggressively to collect Internet sales taxes that have gone widely unenforced.
Under a new policy, major electronic retailers...

All we ask from our government is to defend us against all enemies. And that's something these Dems find obsolete.
It's only the beginning if they get to power.
Sooooo.....
‘Don Fanucci’ Spitzer(the F***in’ Steamroller) only wants to wet his beak a little....
Liberals never even bother to follow the Law of the Market, when all it takes is .009 seconds search to find a retailer that doesn’t charge the tax, Amazon will lose that business.
To DEMs the flag waving wage earning Americans ARE the enemy.
What an a** this guy is. I knew he was just getting warmed up with his licenses for illegals. Since then he’s been releasing hardened criminals out of jail early and now this. What’s next, what does the emperor have planned for us? I hope troopergate finally does him in but good.
I would like to say that New Yorkers are getting what they deserve, but then again, I don't deserve the total screwing I'm getting at the hands of our illustrious Crook in Chief, Gov. Diamond Jim Doyle either.
The AG's subpoenaed vendors records. Vendors are required to report cigarette sales to anyone other than a distributor to the State agency. The AG offices obtain credit card info via the vendor records and send out their threatening tax letters. I am not aware of any prosecutions against vendors--only the people who purchased. The part that irks me is that only government and business are allowed access to cheaper anything. We are forever committed to their tax rules. We are slaves.
Given that every time you exhale, you emit CO2 into the atmosphere, and the fact that the environmentalists are lobbying the EPA to label carbon as an air pollutant, it may not be long before the liberals introduce us all to "breathing credits."
Looks like Amazon’s Q4 profits will take a hit.
He’s currently at 25% re-electibility in NY according to the latest polls so I hope the state has learned its lesson. The one thing it needs desperately is the ability to recall clowns like him as California has.
Since some retailers are required to charge sales tax then why not everyone. Are some more equal than others. Either don't charge sales tax at all or charge for everyone. Treating others differently in the same business is not a free market.
Spitzer will bring this up again if the Dems win in '08. he as much as said in his conference, "the time is not right..."
I didn't vote for Spitzer but the more conservative upstaters were taken in by him and down here the Republican party is in disarray to a large extent.
Out here on LI, we neither have a Republican Party NOR do we have a Conservative Party.
-as a conservative upstater I can assure you I did NOT vote for him. I know of no one up here who was “take in” by him.
>Looks like Amazon’s Q4 profits will take a hit.
Not that much - if Amazon has any sense it will simply refuse/discontinue to do business with affiliates who have any part of their operation located in the state of New York. And a couple thousand New York businesses will go under - they will be having difficulty remembering the Democrat party is for the “little guy”. Happy Holidays from the liberals of NY!
One step backward, two steps forward. Spitzer is the good little socialist.
The bad news is that if he gets away with it, other states will follow.
