The problem they are trying to address is the decrease in sales tax income due to non-taxed internet transactions. This is pretty obvious, although not to viewers of Faux News. To them it is just another liberal tax increase.

Can you propose another way to recoup the missing sales taxes? Sure, cut spending on education (very smart way to secure the future), health care (your fault for getting sick after all), etc..., but be sure not to cut those massive tax breaks for coporations, the wealthy, or any of the subsidies for oil, corn, ethonol, etc...

Your statement implies they are taxed heavily now, which is clearly not the case, at least in the USA.

When you have corrupt, traitors in power, it seems like government is the problem. Problem is, people keep voting corrupt traitors in to replace the existing corrupt traitors thinking somehow things will be different.

Yes Microsoft is not without blame but....just because Microsoft offers politicians money and perks, does not mean then need to accept them. Government is not the problem, the people _in_ government are the real problem.

Apple to oranges comparison. Try reading this: http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2011/08/23/samsungs-digital-picture-frame-was-no-ipad/

Problem with your thinking is....no tablet looked anything remotely like the ipad until the ipad came out. Look at the picture at the bottom of the link to see the blatant copying Samsung did. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/30/apple_accuses_motorola_samsung_of_monopolizing_markets_with_patents.html

No, the percentage stays the same. Whether i buy one TV or five TVs, my sales tax is 4%

So i bust my ass, put myself through school, work long hours, and should be punished for it? I should have to give my money to some clown who sits on his/her ass all day? That is imbalanced. Considering the sales tax does not apply to food, i find your example interesting. If you want to support leeches, that is your choice. How much money have you donated to the poor?

Perhaps you can educate me as to the benefits of stealing from everyone financially better off than you?

How do you "avoid" a sales tax?

Do not buy so much then. No one can ever tell me why i need to be punished because i make more money than someone else.

So i am going to hop on a plane and fly to Delaware to go grocery shopping? What nonsense. Curious, at what level is one "rich"?

There is zero logic in your statements. The sales tax does not punish anyone more or less than anyone else. It is a percentage. The total amount of money you have is irrelevant, as it should be with all taxes. If you feel you are not making enough money, do something about it. I know that is terrible...taking responsibility for yourself. by your idea, penalizing successful people is a good idea. You want to steal others hard work. That is totally unfair and hurts those who work the hardest to get ahead.

How is it my fault somebody does not have more money? Get a higher paying job. Get a second job. Get by on less. Save more. Live within your means. I live within your means. I do not sit and whine i can not afford a new 911 Turbo. I accept the fact i do not make enough money to buy one. Why am i burdened by free loaders looking for me to bust my ass so they can leech off me. I use no more or less government services than they do. Why do i need to pay for them?

Huh? The sales tax is completely fair on everyone, regardless of income level, which is how taxes should be. Why should i pay more sales tax just because i earn more money than some else? So no, it does not hurt anyone more than anyone else, it affects everyone in the same way.

Care to share some examples?

That is a Trademark not a patent.
