[Comparative Advantage]

I'll be contacting my congressmen about this on Monday. These creeps need to stay out of my wallet.

[elkfersupper]

Then I won't be buying anything.

Nice way to end a recession, a@@holes.

[hunter112]

Go ahead, Demoweenie asshats, make our day...

[troy McClure]

No Problem I will just relocate my Domain to TJ and then the sales will be international and not subject to any state sales tax.

[clintonh8r]

Well, I still won’t shop at the local Borders or Barnes and Noble....I don’t buy books that have been pre-read by latte-sipping freeloaders.

[pepperdog]

Big surprise, not! Any way they can think of to tax us they will. Exhaling will probably be the next thing, global warming you know.

[ColdWater]

Not to worry. Obama pledged that he would not raise taxes on anyone making < 250k.

[ken21]

democrats always raise taxes.

this is destructive—sales taxes + shipping will make the net uncompetitive.

“We’ve got tax, eggs, bacon and tax. Tax, tax, tax, eggs and tax. Bacon, tax, tax, tax, tax, ham, tax, tax, eggs and tax ..”

“Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, taxity-tax..!”

“But I don’t like tax!”

Obama and Congress found a NEW WAY to shut down Economic Growth ?

Such Resourcefulness.....Tax it and it will shrink and make the Govt. look for more ways to Tax Americans, and the Economy shrinks even more.

Harvard Grads are Dumasses...

[Ouderkirk]

The Rats who run NY have inserted a line on my personal income tax for for me to pay sales tax on anything I purchased out of state in the flesh or on the internet.

I routinely put that number as zero.

I spend thousands either on the internet or in Delaware. Cigarettes on the Indian Reservations. Your 8.25% sales tax is more than the cost of shipping.

Hey Governor Patterson and Speaker Sheldon Silver...screw you. You’ll never get a dime of it.

[Gator113]

When it ends, my web shopping will also end.

I refuse to pay these bastards one more dime that doesn’t go toward survival, period.

If they are going to make us live as if we are in a depression, we might as well quit buying anything and force everything to crash. Only then... will we have a chance to rebuild.

They argue that reduced sales tax revenue threatens budgets for schools and police

When theses folks cry about an obesity epidemic, they are merely projecting. "Pro-tax officials" are the out-of-control government gluttons that are burdening society en masse. At least the folks scarfing down junk food are helping to keep employment up at the Dorito factory.

How about these useless feeders go on a diet. Talk about excessive consumption disorder.

[savedbygrace]

How could such a scheme possibly pass Constitutional muster?

[Vigilanteman]

Even the tax grabbers here in Pennsylvania have figured out one of the few reasons shoppers flock to this state is to buy clothing because it is sales tax exempt. A number of great clothing outlets and even clothing manufacturers who locate in this state because of the favorable tax treatment. The state makes a lot more taxing the profits and payrolls than they would taxing the clothing.

But the same tax grabbing nimrods can't make the same connnection with other industries which they are taxing out of business or encouraging them to leave the state.

[elpinta]

I can see merchants starting to sell for cash and forgetting to report it... and us buying ‘less-tax’...
I lived in such a place, and it works real well.
It was a socialized cesspool, still is, but the ‘leaders’ still manage to milk the people somehow.
FUtaxman!

[theymakemesick]

This can’t be true, 0bama said taxes won’t go up.

[GlennBeck08]

When will it end?

[UCANSEE2]

They argue that reduced sales tax revenue threatens budgets for schools and police Caribbean cruises and Limos.

The Peter Schiff/Redistribution Watch Ping. (Washington Bankrupting our Nation by Spending your past, present and future money!)

Remember no one 250K would see their taxes raised? This tax would allow YOUR high tax state to rip you off for a product from another state, they contributed NOTHING too.

[webschooner]

We are so screwed.
