Sounds Fair to me.

SC already does, I sent the Amazon tax bill to my state representative and told him to pay it, I didn’t vote for it, he did. Never heard a word back.

So when I buy something from one of a million foreign-based websites, and the parcel is delivered to me in my state, this new tax will be collected how?

Doing anything weird to the internet is like squeezing a balloon, whatever it is will simply pop up somewhere else.

It’s already being done. I get taxed with Amazon so this is just making it official. The first time they charged me on Amazon with state taxes I was upset but that was over a year ago now.

RE:”This is not the first time Enzi has pushed for an online sales tax. In 2014, he was able to pass the bill in the Senate by combining it with another bill called the Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA). Conservatives supported ITFA because it prohibited taxes from being imposed on Internet access service. However, the package never reached the floor of the House for a vote.

Cruz is right, there is little difference between many GOP Senators and Democrats.

Fortunately GOP house members didn't go for it.

Why would I vote GOP if they actually passed this?

Amazon now collects sales taxes FOR Maryland because starting last fall they have a physical presence in Maryland, distribution centers which Maryland gave them tax breaks for.(they have grown huge)

These Federal bills are unnecessary. Amazon probably is for them now to crush competition.

I am opposed to excessive taxes. Obviously, some taxes are necessary to maintain necessary government services. I hate paying any taxes but not equally. Conceptually, I am much more comfortable with use taxes (like sales tax) than income taxes. Estate taxes are essentially theft, IMO.

Internet sales tax is a complicated issue. There is nothing in their nature which should make them exempt from taxation. However, administration of the tax is going to be extremely hard to implement without imposing huge burdens on small internet business who cannot afford to hire a professional accountant to keep track of all the tax law changes. I smell the AICPA behind this.

When is the GOP going all-in for gun control? That is the only liberal position they are missing.

Thank goodness we elected all these Republicans!

When do they all magically change to conservatives, again? I keep missing how that was supposed to work.

GOP delenda est.

Why do we have a GOP majority in the Senate if they’re just going to be DNC-lite?

Why doesn’t Enzi demand lower property taxes, lower federal taxes, an end to the anti-job tax policies against workers, and judicial reform?

My prediction is the Marxists will proceed in this order:
1) California
2) Massachusetts
3) Minnesota
4) Illinois
5) Oregon

A race to see who can be first and greediest.
