Senate Passes Internet Sales Tax In Contravention Of Its Constitutional Powers

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Since when is it the job of United States senators to side with traditional retailers? That’s not what they did. They did not side -- the more I think about this, the more angry I become. The upshot of all of this clamor and this agitation for this sales tax is that this is an economic miracle.
