Rush is right: Illegal Immigration is going to lose the ‘Rats the moderate and undecided voters in droves! This is a very good development for ‘08.

This is a huge and winning issue for Republicans, if they'd only realize it. Plenty of hispanics who are American citizens or legal immigrants are deeply opposed to illegal immigration.

This congressman sounds like an idiot. Rush is right—they act like they’re just spectators, unable to do anything.

Caller Mick makes a prediction—every dem in the debate tomorrow night will try to blame Bush for the illegal immigration problem. (Not that that would be unusual.)

Spitzer, the disgusting loser who should be hauled out of office, has this new tax...

Spitzer's Christmas Tax Surprise; Aims To Collect Levies on Sales Over Internet

By JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN New York Sun November 14, 2007

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, such as Amazon.com, will be required to collect sales tax on all purchases from New York. The policy, based on a novel legal theory, could hasten the end of the Internet's era as a duty-free marketplace if other states follow New York's lead. With the policy, New York immediately took the lead among states that are seeking to tax online commerce.

"I'd say this puts us at the front," one state tax official, who requested anonymity, told The New York Sun.

Having pledged not to raise taxes, Mr. Spitzer is increasingly scrounging for ways to close a projected $4.3 billion deficit next year. State officials estimate that this latest initiative, which goes into effect in December, will bring in about $100 million more each year, split between state and local government tax revenue. Statewide, the sales tax averages about 8%, although in New York City it is 8.375%.

[snip]

The policy would shift the burden of reporting taxes from the purchaser to the online vendor. New Yorkers currently pencil in about $45 million a year in sales and use taxes owed from out-of-state or online purchases. But much more likely goes unreported.

When it comes to charging sales tax, e-retailers have been held to the same old standard that the U.S. Supreme Court set for mail-order vendors: The seller only needs to collect the tax on purchases in states where the vendor has a physical presence, such as a storefront or salesman. New York is saying that it has found a way around that obstacle to tax collection. Many e-retailers may have unwittingly lost their exemption because of the way they direct traffic to their Web sites, according to a tax memo recently released by the state's tax department.

[snip]

What is especially interesting, Mr. Zittrain wrote, is that the taxes doesn't just apply on sales made through affiliates, but on all sales "so long as they have an affiliate program at all."

A spokeswoman from Amazon.com, which boasts some 900,000 "affiliates" across the globe, did not return a call for comment.

But some e-retailers would likely respond by simply dropping their "affiliate" programs. Or they may end up challenging the policy in court, where some lawyers think New York's position may not hold up.

“Rush is right: Illegal Immigration is going to lose the ‘Rats the moderate and undecided voters in droves! This is a very good development for ‘08.”

Yes. But I was surprised that Rush hadn’t heard about the plan put out by Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter. I just sent him a link to the plan out by Fred Thompson. Have to look for the plan of Duncan Hunter. Don’t really know what the differences are yet between the plans.

Grahamnesty may be dead but his senate seat is in trouble.
