Here comes the Internet sales tax grab
By Michelle Malkin • April 20, 2009 12:05 PM

State governments — now suffering from spending binges, fiscal mismanagement, and exploding budgets — are starving for new tax revenue. Brick-and-mortar stores and the commercial real estate lobby — reeling from the bad economy — are desperate for a leg up on online competition. They’ve teamed up to renew their years-long push for Congress to effectively impose Internet sales taxes and turn online retailers into tax collectors. A bill will reportedly be introduced on the Hill this week by GOP Sen. Mike Enzi and Democrat Rep. Bill Delahunt.

The New York Post sums up the possible legislative implications with a helpful graphic:

Do members of Congress really want to facilitate a new tax increase right now? The state government/brick-and-mortar lobby are using a “fairnessâ€

Not only is the Gov't going to tax are usage, they are going to tell us what we can say on the internet and spy on us and use the information about us against us. Big Brother.


Get the illegals the H out of our country and we would not have a deficit!

This means we will be paying the taxes on the libraries, colleges to provide services for the illegals to use.

The Fair Taxes are coming at us, folks....

Something tells me these government sleaze bags didn't get it on the 15th.

We need to have an email Tea Party Day!

These politicians keep trying to dream up ways to tax the people to death. The public has purchased items from catalogues for years often w/o paying sales tax....same should apply to the internet. Tax tax tax.....! Sick of this while governments on all levels just keep getting bigger and bigger.

By Taxing everything it is a backdoor to Fair Tax.

Then the government will not care at all about Americans need for jobs.
