"Two bills have been introduced. One would require Internet sellers who run a business to get an electronic auctioneer's license that would cost about $100 a year. The other would leave Internet auctions as the Wild West of retail."

They are DYING TO FIND A WAY TO TAX THE INTERNET FOLKS!!!!!

Both these laws are a horrible step and another one is coming in under the radar.

There is currently a law that "continues" no taxes on the internet, but it is up for renewal soon (in congress). That means that if they don't "renew" it then: 'Oh gosh it looks like we couldn't get that darn thing renewed to prevent taxes and so..."

This is how they SNEAK A P.O.S. into LAW LIKE THIS~!!!!

They see something that is not taxed, pass a law that "continues" not to tax it for a few years (a law that says we will continue to do nothig until...), but then when the law "expires" ooops~! time for a tax on it.

This is how they want to raise taxes but voting not to "continue" the Bush tax cuts too.

ALL TAX INCREASES ARE PERMANENT - all cuts are temporary until they 'expire'

This has nothing to do with taxing the internet. Her business was taking items from other people in Pennsylvania, selling them at auction, and collecting a 30% commission.

She simply used E-bay as the mechanism for the auction.

Her money wasn’t made selling, it was made from people paying her to sell.
