Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast

It's kind of a double edged sword. If it goes through, some states could I suppose be hurt if all of the sudden online purchases slow down because the price differential won't be advantageous anymore. If that happens, and you have a company in your state that loses a lot of online business, their profits will fall and all of the sudden their contributions to the state via corporate income tax will fall as well. The 64k question in this case would be would those lower corporate income taxes be offset by the increases in sales tax revenue. No way to tell at this point, but it could turn into a situation of "be careful what you ask for."

Under this current climate of corporations holding trillions off shore, using our infrastructure and paying nothing, one wonders if a tax increase to the people is an equitable solution.

This is my issue with more taxes on the average citizen.

For sake of accuracy the proposed gun legislation failed in the Senate not the house of Representatives.Lets get the facts right.

Someone's gotta pay for government spending

Under this current climate of corporations holding trillions off shore, using our infrastructure and paying nothing, one wonders if a tax increase to the people is an equitable solution.

That's the reason for deficit. Government spending adjusted for inflation is the lowest since WWII. Government "overspending" hysteria is propelled by the same people who lend money to government (Federal Reserve approved list) with government guaranteed interest. Average income tax comes to about 15% - please show me another country like that. Sure, there is additional tax on cigarettes, gas etc but every country has it even worse.

One can find one or two countries (like Switzerland) with lower tax rates but we are pretty much at the bottom. Look at this chart: http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2012/10/focus-4
