Taxing E-Commerce?

[Kibou]

Just curious if you guys thought there should be a tax on internet business from state to state.

RAMENKAGE! Let's debate! lol.

haha
it depends, are there interstate taxes on phoned goods, i made that word up or did i =/
i dont see a difference between phone ordered goods and internet goods
although i do hate taxes, the money may go into good use. like free fiber optics

[mgviperman]

i don't really see a difference...and besides, the government taxes everything else right? yea it would be nice to see the money go into good use, but i dunno if they'd ever offer free fiber optics...

haha phoned goods :p it sounds good even if you made it up :D

[ramenkage]

my neighboring city is gettin fiber optics
DAM THEM BASTARDS!!!
anywayz back on topic, taxes come from one place or another. some places have low property tax, but high sales tax, others dont have sales taxes at all, but they have crappy programs. Its a give and take situation

[mgviperman]

yea that's true...and the government has to get money from somewhere so i don't see why they wouldn't be taxing e-commerce.

oh and i'd take free fiber optics in a heartbeat :D

[ramenkage]

nothin is free
the money come always come from someplace
and when you find out that lazy bums are wasting away your tax money >=O
