Don't blame me for dragging this thread into Obama land.  But you gotta laugh your ass off when even the Lame Stream Media is telling the turd that he is stinking it up.

Even Amazon, who once stood against the Marketplace Fairness Act, is now for it. Daily Finance has this statement from Amazon:

"Amazon.com has long supported a simplified nationwide approach that is evenhandedly applied and applicable to all but the smallest volume sellers," Amazon VP Paul Misener wrote in a letter supporting the bill. "With this in mind, I am writing to thank you for your bill, which will allow states with simplified rules to require sales tax collection by out-of-state sellers who choose to make sales to in-state buyers."
It's not just Amazon, a number of businesses have stepped up in support of the bill because it makes their jobs a little easier.

Ebay wants to see the income limit for online retailers lifted to from $1 million to $10 million to ensure that more online businesses are exempt from paying the sales tax. As you'd expect, many politicians who are opposed to taxation in general are also against the bill, especially those from states like Oregon, Montana, and New Hampshire that have no sales tax.

Give me a fucking break.  They say the act is to allow the local stores to compete, yet I can go on Amazon or Newegg Right now, pay shipping, taxes, and still get a lower price in the end than you get from big box retailers like Best Buy, Guitar Center, etc.  I mean, in some cases they have their shit marked up 40% over the amazon price.  And that is before taxes.

Fuck those assholes.  What do you think?
