RINOs are taking the lead in establishing a tax on sales across state lines, i.e., an internet tax.

The Senate passed such a proposal with a bipartisan 69-27 vote in 2013. So far, it has stalled in the house.

To get past the WSJ paywall to read the article, simply google the title.

They were talking about this exact same idea years ago.

Stupid rinos are stupid.

The next time the Democrats control Congress they’ll pervert this into a national sales tax. Guaranteed.

“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
Ronald Reagan

2016 Government=Uniparty

Go Trump, win win win.

The power to tax, is the power to destroy.
These bass turds have driven our Natl’t debt up to 20 TRILLION dollars, and they’re hungrily coming after you for anything they can steal.

Read my tagline.

Good news for brick and mortar retailers. And for those who prefer shopping there.

once upon a time, R’s would try to lower our taxes, not find sneaky ways to raise them up ever higher on us

The republicrats (U-uniparty) are doubling down on screwing over Americans for fun & profit for the politburo and their fellow cronies.

It is great to know Congress is working 24-7 to find new ways to crush American consumers. :-(

Forward, jerks.

WHAT!? They must feel pretty safe to do this so close to the election. I guess they’re past their primaries so there is less danger. The bastards!

Stopping Obama's illegal amnesty? ...."Sorry. We tried as hard as we could. There's nothing we could do."

Stopping Obamacare's destruction of the economy?...."It's just not realistic. There is no legitimate way to make any headway on that subject."

Stop the Iran deal?...."It is 100% impossible to have any affect in that area.

Maintain adequate levels of defense spending?...We wish we could. Sorry. Our hands are really tied on this one."

Not doubling the U.S. debt in 8 years?...."Gosh we tried our best but Obama is so tough. We just couldn't stand up to him."

Renew the Import/Export Bank?...."Oh sure. That's easy. We can do that.

Increase the debt ceiling?...."Easy peasy. We can do that."

Increase internet taxes?...."No problem. We can get that done.

And people don't understand why the Republican base refused to vote for a Republican in the primary......

Say, where’s the bill/vote on the sale of h’care plans between States?

Nope, it’s always “How can we tax MORE...” (regardless if it falls w/out the legality of A1S8).

Anything benefiting The People, let alone the tax PAYER, it never a thought in their Socialist\Fascist ‘brain’.

Just like tax ‘cuts’, always with a sun-set clause, taxes? Those are ‘forever, unless voted to be killed-off’

String them all up. Anyone who votes for new taxation needs to go.

Bureaucrats live for taxes - and love them more than their wives/sweethearts.

Doubt (hope) this will go nowhere. Brave souls this close to their election. And everyone is up.

The most important issue is immigration, no one cares about tax issues.

More smoke and mirrors from the GOPe.
