That was before we fell down that rabbit hole. Here in Obamaland, tax bills originate wherever the government feels like they should, and "fairness" means internet retailers collecting and distributing taxes for over 9,000 jurisdictions at considerable expense while "brick and mortar" retailers just move on as normal (except for sending Congress those lovely 'thank you' notes and raising prices as a 'welcome back' to returning customers who can't find things online anymore).

The amount of stupidity and malice in Congress is downright amazing.

The US Constitution, Article I section 7, says: "All bills for raising revenue shal originate in the House of Representatives ..."

Harry Reid should roast in Hell.
