Heck, New York State has a constitutional ban on gambling yet the Governor has been working overtime to get around it by teaming up with Native American tribes and taking a percentage of their income.

Not exactly. Gambling is normally done on the reservation, which is in effect either Federal property or a foreign country. Not sure exactly. And that means that NY has no legal authority there. |

True but the Constitution has essentially been moot since 1933 when emergency powers were given to FDR and have continued to this day. Heck, New York State has a constitutional ban on gambling yet the Governor has been working overtime to get around it by teaming up with Native American tribes and taking a percentage of their income.

Walmart probably thinks this is Cool as selling themselves as all American when they are a China junk store.
The Pringles I bought there didn't come from China.
Otherwise, yes, Wal-Mart is a GUI for Chinese products.

Sadly I wish you were right.....
which imposes a federal ban on state and local taxes on Internet access services *and* certain Internet-based sales transactions
Internet access services like VOIP, this means that they can tax it as a telecom serice (like verizon) and then DOUBLE tax it for web access, not to mention the ADDITIONAL web sales tax!
WTF are these states trying to do here? Everyones verizon bill would go from 29.99 to 32 bucks for standard sales tax and maybe 37 after all of said taxes.
Cell phone bills already suffer for this. I pay city, county, and state tax on my cell. 39.99 = 47.95 per month here in maryland after taxes.
