U.S. Senate Approves Proposed Internet Sales Tax



The comments on that page gave me a sad. ;(

The good news is that just before the house passes this, all the biggest online retailers will have to consider the option of another Net-wide blackout like the wikipedia/google/rest of the web one last year that worked. They have more to lose this time, I think they'll go for it.

But even if they don't and it passes: MOAR REASON TO USE BITCOINS! YAYYYY!!!!!

It was an amendment to a budget that won't pass. They voted for it because they know it will never see the light of day.
 
just run it from the Cayman islands the USA is tumbling down and this kind of behavior just shows how weak it is getting.
 
Arbitrage between geographical jurisdictions has always been a huge profit center, but now it is becoming a necessity for doing business. You've got to diversify your political risk.
 
USA has to get it's hands on EVERYTHING. At this point Congress is making laws that only negatively affect people, giving the gov more power each time.. I mean when was the last time Congress passed something worthwhile or beneficial?
 
Are there any petitions or movements my partners and I can work with to prevent this from becoming a bill?
 
An Internet sales tax is inching its way closer to being the law of the land: The U.S. Senate supported a non-binding vote of approval, 75-to-24, for a law that would allow states to collect taxes from Internet retailers. If enacted as is, it would allow states to levy taxes on some online retail purchases from businesses with over $1 million in gross receipts.
