[mrjarrell]

Yeah, I expect this **** from the dems, but the reps are supposed to be against more taxes. Thanks a lot douchebags. Anything to fund the expansion of the state at all levels.

No business has to pay sales tax on sales made out of state. I am sick of local places complaining about Amazon or other businesses, they can sell online too. I can, so I think they can figure it out. Don't be such a whiner.

There is no appetite for government to live on less.

Anybody But a Democrat. I guess that leaves us all to third party candidates now.

The entire Federal government has refused to be accountable for spending (or even establishing a budget for better than 4 years). Of course the cheif executive (who is supposed to have very limited spending authority) keeps spending like a criminal with a stolen credit card. While people were enjoying freebees, the debt kept rising. Sooner or later you have to pay the piper. There is no other way to prevent a total collapse. Edit, I mean delay the total collapse.

 

[Enthusiast]

I would rather divert than delay a collapse but it seems few in Washington D.C. understand simple math and even fewer people care so long as they're getting milk from the gov't teet.

 

[Expat]

No tax increases, just closing one of those loopholes.

 

[qmikep]

There will be a way around it. Maybe this will be the kick in the ass digital curency needs to get more usable and or mainstream. If the Gov-co wants to play hardball, so be it.

 

[Sfrandolph]

This is what happens when all the elected officials are from wealthy families. These pieces of work have no idea how hard it is to make ends meet for the ordinary people. This country is tearing itself apart and I sincerely doubt that it will survive another four years.

Indiana really already has a mechanism to collect tax on out of state purchases. It is called a "use tax" You have supposed to been marking it on your Indiana tax form for years. It seems very few people actually fill in that line on the tax form. Once you get audited, you will be sure to pay use tax every time.

So do most cancers.

And parasites. Especially the biggest ones.

I don't understand the complaining.

Why would an online retailer who sells product and ships it to said buyer not be subject to the same sales tax tax issues as a brick and mortar that takes an order, ships it or delivers it?

What do they get in return from the state they collect for and send sales tax to? Are Indiana snow plows going to drive to Colorado and plow the road which the store resides? NY fire fighters going to drive to California to put out a fire at the store in CA which collects taxes for NY's government?

Taxes are supposed to pay for services. What services are they receiving?
