Somehow this doesn't sound right...


We all are becoming aware of the fact that Congress is going to send down a bill for taxes on … online purchases.  They want every business to charge a sales tax on their product. And then send that tax to the state the purchaser is from.  Some how this doesn't quite seem fair..

You see…my question is..... if they are going to collect taxes for online purchases for the state that the buyer lives in....
What about the people who live in bordering states?

We live in Idaho.. we go to Spokane Wa. and buy things. We are charged Wa. tax but not Idaho tax.... So why would it be different for those online?

I could understand if they were going to collect taxes for their own state.. but not ours.. After all each state has their own type of taxes, and they are even talking about the local taxes as well. Sound like a can of worms to me. 

Buying online at a warehouse, or store... isn’t
any different than buying across the state border at a store or warehouse there...
