Aggie, Well, my only comment is that estate taxes WILL be coming from the pockets of the 120 millionaires who signed Bill Gates, Sr.'s petition, and they apparently aren't so greedy as to believe that they shouldn't pay their fair share in money to fund the government. Sorry you don't agree... Sorry also that you didn't comment on the fact that the District of Columbia has no representation despite the fact that we pay taxes just like everyone else in Congress--I'd have thought that a sloganeering patriot like yourself would be outraged by that fact, but maybe your outrage is selective. My opinion on e-taxes? Not sure what it's relevant to, but my opinion is the same as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (unusual, I'll admit)--I can't think of a single persuasive reason why ecommerce transactions should be shielded from sales taxes any more than non-ecommerce transactions. Can you?
