Nice spin....hit the March of Dimes with a big tax bill for buying Tshirts online.

That was a good article, thanks for posting it Rhea.

The story appeared on The Drudge Report today, it will get HUGE exposure..

politicians are so shortsighted. Raising taxes usually reduces income for the taxer.

Reducing taxes actually helps and people dont try to hide transactions so much.

Very interesting article. Seems like an especially bad PR more for them to go after charities first. I think states will continue to scramble to find ways to "collect money they are owed" with internet taxes being a primary candidate.

Here's to hoping the economy get's better so this nonsense will stop / slow down. I would also favor a streamlined sales tax but not holding my breath for that to pass anytime soon.

More will escape abroad and say bye to Uncle Sam. It's like two-edged sword, and in the end it may hurt more than give.
