Time to buy that new TV online: Boehner kills Internet sales tax bill for this year

[Spike]

'The speaker has made clear in the past he has significant concerns about the bill, and it won’t move forward this year,” said spokesman Kevin Smith.

'The Judiciary Committee continues to examine the measure and the broader issue. In the meantime, the House and Senate should work together to extend the moratorium on Internet taxation without further delay.'

'Boehner has drawn a line in the sand saying the American people come first and politicians need to keep their hands off the Internet. ... Obama says yes to taxing the Internet, Reid says yes to taxing the Internet. Speaker Boehner just said "hell no" to taxing the Internet. Boehner wins.'

Remember the tech boom in the 90's. Slick was smart enough not to tax the new internet thingy even though much of his own party was apoplectic that people were making money and they weren't getting their cut. Capital gains taxes handled it after the Republican Congress forced a lower tax rate, then tax revenues went up.
