No tax increases for those making under $250,000 eh? Well, lets hope if you purchase anything over the internet, you make over $250,000 because the sales tax is going up!

All we heard from Hussein is how no one making under $250,000 will see their taxes increases. Earlier this month, those who buy cigarettes saw a big increase on their purchases. I assume not everyone who smokes makes that much. Now, if you buy anything over the internet a bill will reportedly be introduced on the Hill this week by GOP Sen.  Mike Enzi, a Wyoming Republican, and Rep. Bill Delahunt, a Massachusetts Democrat, which will effectively impose Internet sales taxes and turn online retailers into tax collectors.

    So, is this new tax intended to close a consumer loophole, stop what some see as an evil addiction, punish those who try to save money, or is it an an attempt to fleece the American people once again?

    Well, Congress is remiss to close loopholes on themselves, so that can’t be the reason. Online shopping…well, I don’t think that qualifies as an addiction. The idea of punishing cost conscious consumers is contrary to the Obama plan…you know, spending money to help the economy, so that can’t be it. That leaves just one thing…government hands in our pockets once again.

    When will enough, be enough? With the current crop of thieves in office, it will never be enough. Their time seems to spent trying to find innovative ways to tax us, or in finding ways for themselves to avoid paying taxes, while at the same time ensuring they stay in power. How difficult would it be to throw a monkey wrench in to their plans? If this bill is passed, and signed by Obama, we’ll need to stop buying online. My appologies to the online merchants, but you better make plans to find another source of income. Perhaps, a barter system? Some tell me the left has used this system for quite some time, and is regarded as “the underground economy.”

    When will America wake up, and take this country back from the power brokers who want to control everything we do, think, make, and earn?

    Just look at sample prices for online products:
