It would affect mostly retailers selling on-line to folks and many already charge tax if they have a presence in your state.
It's going to kill home-based internet businesses if it passes. Imagine an elderly couple who want to earn a little vacation money by becoming an online retailer. They will have to hire people to accommodate taxing and reporting. Sales will go down because they have to charge more. They sell things I can't get locally.
I live in a city of 120,000 people, and if you want to buy a new or refurbished straight razor here, don't make me laugh.
True, but look how well they managed the other money they stole from us all- rat bastards! I guess the days of dodging the ridiculous taxes on tobacco are coming to an end too. Call me crazy but I just have a hard time with $46 for a tub of Prince Albert.Quote:

Hey they have to pay for "Obama care" some how:rofl2:
People who do less than one million in sales are totally exempt from the taxing requirement. Also the tax won't dissuade anyone from shopping on-line as opposed to going into an actual store. The overhead difference is way too big for the actual stores. The fairness thing is just a straw dog. it's all about the states wanting their tribute.
One Million,that takes a load off my mind:)
