when will Washington realize it has a spending problem rather than a revenue problem?

Probably when you realize that this isn't a federal tax, but rather a bill making it easier for states to collect taxes on online purchases.

In a technocratic system these extra taxs wouldn't go to waste.

It sucks that politicians are supposed to represent the people but actively go against what the people want.

The idea of publicly elected officials doing much right is laughable.

The people want all the benefits that our society offers, but don't want to actually pay for them. Case in point, last November the people of my county threw a fit over a proposed county-wide sales tax of 1% to help fund the local schools. These same folks, of course, bitch about the schools being underfunded. 1%. They want their kid's school to have more money, but an extra penny on the dollar is just too much of a sacrifice for them to personally make.

Lame. Honestly though, I am more surprised that this is just now being looked into. I buy almost everything besides food and clothing online just because I don't have to pay a sales tax and I can usually find free shipping

MOAR TAXES PLEEEEESE

lol

Our govt are crooks, they cannot even manage sensibly what they already take in. They want more more more for bigger useless programs, more welfare, more wars.

This will keep going until the house of cards collapses.
