We still can stop this thing in the House of Representin' if we mobilize enough people to put pressure on the Representatives.

[AngryCanadian]

McCain War Lover for arms for the terrorists voted yes.

[Anti Federalist]

Imagine my shock.

[torchbearer]

i'm boycotting internet purchases if they pass this bill. everyone should do the same.
slow down the economy.

[SkepticalMetal]

Big surprise here.

[aGameOfThrones]

I think people should be thankful that things are going to be fair now.

[Czolgosz]

Worry not, gents. We'll educate the masses and they'll come to their senses.

[DamianTV]

This will only accomplish driving our economy down even further as a lot of people will stop spending online. And all to do what, fund the very thing we dont want which is more wars??

We already have taxes here and believe me its a bad idea. In here its called the HST tax the worst kind. Even though GST,PST both are the worse. HST effects the retailers. Less sales. Less spending due to impact of the HST the good prices go up, in which it drives away the middle class, poor class from buying everyday items.

Food prices. Also high.

[QueenB4Liberty]

I like buying online, but fuck these people. I guess I can stop. I'll just hoard my money.

[kahless]

If anyone has a twitter account PLEASE reply to all the Senators that are going out of their way to promote their vote in favor of this act. These guys are so clueless that they think people are going to celebrate the vote they just made by posting about it on twitter.

i'm moving back to the family farm. i'm will live off the land. i will not pay their tax.

that is what i'm thinking. i could save more by cutting off online purchase.

Is that the same group that just passed it and sent it to the Senate?

Good luck with that.

[Matt Collins]

Is that the same group that just passed it and sent it to the Senate?No, entirely different.

[matt0611]

Is that the same group that just passed it and sent it to the Senate?

Good luck with that.

Not really no, the house republicans as a whole are a bit better than the ones in the Senate.

It has a real chance of being stopped in the house if people get riled up.

[pcosmar]

OK,, I was thinking it had already passed through the House and was sent to the Senate.

Still not much confidence in the money grubbing thieves. The few that are not , ,are few.

[Keith and stuff]

Imagine my shock.
At both NH Senators voting against it? Even a Democrat! 1 of the 2 NH Reps is opposed to this. So far she is 1 of 5 people in the House opposed to this and the only Democrat opposed to this. Kuster is correct in this.

Why? I don't like paying sales taxes, do you?

[torchbearer]

Why? I don't like paying sales taxes, do you?

i won't be buying local either. i will be producing my own food from now own.
the fuel tax is a user tax, or at least, close to a user tax. i will pay that one.
i have no problem living a minimalist life. i actually enjoy it.

[supermario21]

These 2 were happy about it passing...

[FSP-Rebel]

I'll do my part in helping stall this in the House but if it passes, another feather in the cap for the BTC community long term.

[LibertyRevolution]

another feather in the cap for the BTC community long term.

You don't think it will be another nail in the coffin?
Using BTC to avoid paying internet sales tax would be tax evasion, just one more reason for them to shut it down..

Don't mind me.. I'm the resident pessimist.

that was the point of the bill, to collect more sales tax at home

[torchbearer]

i already have ways around local sales tax.
i have access to the produce farms before wholesale.

[BAllen]

But they're helping local retailers! What they say, anyway.
Socialist math. Raise the price of everything else that people want, to make the things they don't want, more attractive.

[J_White]

this sh*t ain't stopping anytime soon. :mad:

you poach chickens and cows? :P

[torchbearer]

the guy who has cows likes catfish, but doesn't have much time to fish himself.
i have catfish, but no cows.
