Is the lamestream media reporting this?

Boehner just saved already cash-strapped consumers tons of money!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Not to mention the accounting nightmare for part-time internet sellers.

I’ve to hand it to Boner - the guy at least knows NOT to kill our struggling economy with burdensome new taxes.

[Praxeologue]

Is this a wind-up for Net Neutrality?

[ari-freedom]

We save Silicon Valley. They give us Pelosi.

[MeshugeMikey]

Kudos to em.

lets see how much more stuff he’s made of

Lets ROLL!

[goldstategop]

The UK media reports stuff that isn’t getting press here.

The media dinosaurs hate the Internet because its rendered them obsolete.

[dfwgator]

Of course they consumers still owe the Use Tax.

You DO pay the Use Tax, right?

[CatOwner]

Bought a new TV for our master bedroom a couple of months ago. Purchased at a local brick-and-mortar store for about the same price as online. Nearly all reputable online retailers selling flat screen TVs are collecting sales tax for California anyway. As it is, California has a Use Tax law requiring the tax to be paid on these online purchases and has for some time. Choose to ignore this at your own risk.

[Jim from C-Town]

Thank you John Boehner. And I am not familiar with saying that!

[Politicalkiddo]

Boehner actually did something useful?

[9YearLurker]

Even a broken House Speaker is right twice a year. Congrats to Boehner.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Those footsteps John is hearing are coming from the Tea Party

[Billthedrill]

One for common sense, and a hat tip to Boehner. The latter is a rarity but I’d be happy to do it more often.

Brick and mortar sales tax? What's that?

This actually raises an interesting question. What if states got rid of their sales taxes altogether, and found a different way to raise revenue?

The first big advantage would be a boom in brick and mortar small business in the state. They would have a level playing field with the Internet companies, and the advantage of location. This advantage is so great, they could use Internet retailers as wholesalers. Likewise they would be more competitive against franchises.

And because small business hires more people than any other kind of business, unemployment in the state would drop, saving the state money paid in benefits.

Small business also prefers locally produced supplies and commodities, so it would boost farming and other production in the state.

[Norm Lenhart]

I slam him regularly so I will step up and say ‘thank you’ when he does something right. So “Thank you” John. you did this one right.

Heard on Limbaugh's show a bit ago, that Boehner wants to work with Reid to fully fund everything 0bama wants, through next September, by the end of this month.

He wants to do that, rather than just doing the usual Continuing Resolution (current one expiring in a month) to fund it until the next House and newly republican Senate can actually take over, design their own budget, and use 'the power of the purse' to fight 0bamunism.

Traitor Boehner wants to cripple the power of his own body to fight against the despotic fool who is destroying the nation. If the next Congress keeps this idiot as Speaker, we will all know that the GOP hates us peasants.

And of course that idiot McConnell has already promised that there will never be a defunding of 0bama's agenda, so we already knew that we are screwed as long as he is GOP's Senate 'leader'.

[Luke21]

Good job by the GOP. I cut my Amazon spending by 98 percent when they started charging sales tax in AZ. Almost never visit their site anymore.

[stillfree?]

Wow, a clear example of a good thing!
First time I recall that in years.
