Here it comes - since the States cannot directly tax interstate sales, the Democrats will ride to the rescue, and most likely share a chunk (but certainly not all) of these taxes...

My state already taxes online sales. Leave Amazon alone!

Dick is trying to sneak a lot of his commie crap through while everyone is paying attention to the economy and the “debt ceiling crisis”. We really need to keep an eye on this bass turd is up to.

California vendors won’t be selling through Amazon is all that will cause. I’m sure that will help them out.

to collect sales taxesTypo. What they meant to say was "SLAVE' taxes.

Amazon screwed up. They didn’t give the Democrats a big enough pay off.

Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax...
That’s all the Democrats stand for these days. These guys are absolutely desperate to keep the crumbling social welfare state intact. More than ever they are nothing but the party of taxation and regulation.

"Retail Industry Leaders Assn. The Arlington, Va., trade group includes major national chains including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp. and Best Buy Corp."
A lobby in favor of collecting state sales taxes for Internet purchases. It includes many smaller retail businesses, too.

Democrats from Illinois and Michigan only think solutions to budget problems are dealt with by taxes. That’s how they’ve gotten their states out of fiscal disaster - oh wait, THEY HAVEN’T!!!!!

The Democrats are driving out every business this country has. Amazon will move out of the US and more jobs will be lost. When will these idiots finally realize their policies don’t work?!

For conservatives, TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already.
For libs and democrats, TEA stands for Tax ‘Em Again.
