Oops, I forgot with the election and re election of The Messiah we have destroyed the Constitution and the country. Silly me....
Double and triple taxation coming soon to a store near you. Maybe we need a list of all the ways they tax us already. I have no doubt that Obama would tax us 100% on items if he thought he could get away with it. I think 2016 touched on this.
I thought the matter at issue here is an attempt to remedy the avoidance of paying STATE retail sales taxes on items purchased via catalog or internet link from out-of-state purveyors, and not the levying of a new federal tax.
At present I (and thousands of others) avoid state sales taxes on such purchases (books, clothing, seasonal gifts, etc., from vendors located in other states, although my state income tax form asks that I declare the amount of avoided sales tax and make due compensation. I try to make a good faith guess and pay that amount, thus far w/o complaint.
