| State wants revenue on sales through Amazon and other sites |
This is the cute part.
OMG, I can't breathe.
Okay, now I can. Aren't we lucky though, to rely on clamor from New York voters to stop what every other state will view as an eminent domain issue? Meet at the barn. Some of us won't be coming back. |
This issue of nexus dates to the early days of mail order. Of course, back then you probably had a 2% sales tax, not 8% like today. No, other states won't see it as a threat. Their politicians have wanted to tap that revenue stream for decades. If they want to stop this, the idiots at Amazon need to pass the baksheesh around Albany.

Perhaps a President Huckaduck can save us all from such a fate. His latest, "I was never that good in math. I'm more into miracles than math," said Huckabee. "Miracles, I understand. Math is a little harder."
Good grief! Who the hell is falling for that one? Oh,yeah, the entire South. Sheesh............ZMust explain why he raised all those taxes,eh? Didn't understand what he was doing. *ralph*
If I implied that other states see this as a threat, I erred. In fact, other states will see New York's success as their raison d'êxtra taxamundo, AKA, "eminent tax domain." And this is not Amazon's problem, it's ours.
That's why, if that passes and I ran Amazon, I'd immediately implement the policy that, "We don't ship to New York" or any other state that follows suit.

...That's undoubtably a big part of the reason why I don't run Amazon or anything like it.

:) ... But I like your spunk.
(Wait, does that make me gay?)
Seriously, this smacks of Shrillary's, "And I want to TAKE that money....!" Liberal lust for 'taking away' finds satisfaction in the fact that they create (Frankenstein) laws to support their insatiable lust for theft and control.
I wish the Barn Army was more than levity.
"I wish the Barn Army was more than levity."
It is Joyce.
It better be more than levity. Geez, I am going to Raytheon next week for a garage sale. Gonna fill up the back of the old Ford. Maybe gonna rent a trailer from Uhaul if the prices allow.
Gotta defend from the rat bastard commie libs.
Dayum, if the sale was last week, we could have targeted all of the lib caucus sites with the precision stuff. Adapt adapt adapt

>> Few do, and the state loses millions.
Repeat after me:
You cannot lose what you do not have.
A correct version of that sentence:
"Few do, and the state fails to take even more millions from taxpayers to blow on socialist and nanny-state-supporting horse crap."
Spitzer's every public action has been political. As AG that made him popular -- however as governor he has had to formulate policy rather then twist existing policy to punish the evil few on Wall Street.
With that change he has proven to be the fool those of us not trapped in the class envy swamp saw him to be years ago.
In the past he cost investors millions and forced companies to pay fines to make him go away -- all the while claiming to be the champion of the everyday man. As governor he risks costing the everyday man.

Kissed the wife, hugged the kids, said goodbye to the dog: I need the GPS coordinates for the barn.
MooPoo, You won't need your GPS. Just show up at Pancho's at 0200. You can catch a ride with us.
My .270 is zeroed at 225 yds. and I have about 300 shells. Anyone have any more already loaded? This might last a long while and I don't want to have to be conservitave wiht my targets.

GrinfilledCelt,
I often said the tobacco companies should have taken that approach: "Oh, so you wish to sue us, Mr. State Governor? Fine, we'll no longer sell cigarettes within your border." Immediately prohibit any sale within that state, then flood the airwaves with a commercial that says "your state representatives and governor have forced us out of business in your state. There will be no more cigarettes..."
I guarantee you, < 24 hours after the cigarette supply dries up, there will be a large, angry, very nervous mob surrounding the capitol demanding heads on pikes.
Spitzer's well publicised witch hunt at AIG [the insurer] cost shareholders $55 billion. And that's just one company.
Nothing this guy does surprises me any more.
