While Mr. Morris is against the sales tax on internet purposes based on Constitutional reason there is another side to the story. The local and state governments are loosing a tremendous amount of revenue due to internet purchases. Since they are out of money they must find other ways to raise revenues like higher fees for registering you vehicles. Higher property taxes. And they are raising sales taxes on the stuff you buy locally.

On Cyber Monday the sales numbers hit $2 Billion. At a conservative sales tax rate of 5% that equates to $100 Million in lost revenue. The local and states need to make this up somewhere?????

With my etsy.com store I had to register and get a pa tax # for any sales in PA. Outside PA that is a different matter. The nice thing about etsy is that they will add that into the price once a buyer puts in their zip code. I just sold 250.oo worth of spoons last night, but it was out of state so no tax.

I will never understand why they have to have more money? Why can't they spend less, be responsible and eliminate waste?

I agree with you Eddie. I would venture to say that 1/2 taxes paid to ANY government entity in this country is completely wasted. Just like me driving down the road and throwing 100 dollar bills out the window of my car. Ken Sweet

Eddie,Eddie,Eddie...You should not give up your apparent highly skilled contractor job to be a politician. With an attitude like you have there all of the other politicians would laugh and call you names.

I wouldn't make it either since I have the same questions as you do. Ken I would venture to say that you are correct.

Should you ever decide to do that would you please post here first? I can almost guarantee it would be the biggest offline gathering of TBN members ever.!!!
