buh?

I haven't heard much about this lately but iirc the debate was raging in many states (FL included, where I live) a few years back because retailers cried foul. Not only were they getting crushed by Amazon sales-wise (probably rightfully so) but they were forced to collect and remit sales tax to the state while Amazon wasn't...so first Amazon threatened to move out of states that forced them to collect and pay sales tax, then they caved and supposedly started collecting it as more and more states hopped aboard the revenue train.

(I bought something for our company on Amazon just yesterday and they did not collect sales tax fwiw, but I'm pretty sure I was buying from a third party)

Buyers are supposed to be submitting payment in the form of use tax as part of their monthly sales tax return, but I *think* that only applies to businesses. Or maybe it applies to everyone but they state doesn't have the resources to go after individuals so no one ever pays. We have to pay use tax on every taxable purchase we make for which the seller did not collect sales tax, whether bought on Amazon or elsewhere.

"Internet tax" is a product of Trump's boylike imagination afaik.

Yeah, Trump's tweets aren't incoherent, he's just making stuff up out of the blue which is much much worse.

Right so he either made up some imaginary internet tax or he was literally calling for a pretty substantial tax increase in the form of a sales tax passed down to the consumer (though as pointed out we should all be paying it anyway in the form of the use tax).

You can all just quick analyzing his tweets. They are the ramblings of a very stupid, poorly informed, crazy person with a diagnosable mental illness.

You are essentially looking for the meaning of life on the sh*t-stained walls of a severely mentally disturbed patient who has been in solitary confinement for decades.

Yeah watching news orgs try to parse meaning from Trump's tweets is kind of infuriating - just call him a rambling old man who is live blogging Fox News. He has no idea what he is talking about, ever.

Interpreting the Dead Sea Scrolls is easier than parsing Trump's tweets.

I am an Enrolled Agent with my own little tax business and I also do tech support for a tax software company. If I do nothing else I look at tax returns all day. I see hardly anyone actually paying Use Tax, although they should. That's still doesn't excuse his tweet, which the average person would have no idea what "internet tax" could possibly refer to.

trump is going to paris to celebrate bastille day with macron. expect complaints about why he cant have his own military parade at home.

I don't even know how you would go about paying state use tax as an individual, I'm thinking it only applies to businesses. You have to register with the state as a business before you can even file a return. Forcing Amazon to collect sales tax on all sales captures that revenue though.

Washington Post = BAD
Washington Post owner = Jeff Bezos
Jeff Bezos = Amazon
Amazon = tax issue something he saw on FNC or maybe was mentioned by Bannon an hour ago

This is complex reasoning for this guy.

never not lie

Astonishing ramp up (again) of White House attacks on the press.

guessing he means sales tax ?

Google solves another caper

So even if he was referring to sales tax he's still wrong

He's threatening them that if they don't stop writing meanie stories about him he'll jack up their taxes. Can't be anything wrong with a President doing that, right?

Cue the sound of crickets from all the I want to be a racist ******* without criticism free speech advocates regarding this actual tangible breach of the 1st amendment.

The stupid inbred Huckabeast might have finally gone over the top yesterday. This fake news nonsense is coming to a head, and I mean fast.

Trump can expect to be trampled soon, by every journalist and leak in the world. They aren't going to stand for his preemptive attacks anymore.

Pounding FAKE NEWS, collusion with Russia isn't a crime, and powers of the president are unlimited on the right shows how Mike Flypp and Paul ManITalk are doing just fine. The POTUS however, is not.

So where's the Diet Coke red button?

Why can't we eliminate all of Trump's bull**** talking points in one shot by running a campaign of independents against him? Ads, radio and TV interviews on both the right and left, etc.

The key is to let them get attacked as leftists and deep state and fake news first, THEN reveal they aren't Democrats or IC or any of that.

lol, this ****ing guy doesn't drink diet

Didn't notice before that Huckabeast had such a serious case of exotropia, although it wouldn't surprise me at all if she's been kicked by a mule a time or thirty.

I saw posts about yesterday's Syria announcement. Did anyone point out that President Unpredictable is once again giving notice to Russia about his plans with Syria? It isn't enough that he applies his unpredictability against all friends and even the American people, but he has to announce pre-preemptive plans without the immediate knowledge of the Pentagon or the IC. Where did his intel come from on this, if not those guys?

Mules don't often kick each other, but I guess anything's possible with this administration.
