Internet Sales Tax

[RC]

56. The federal Government does not have a sales tax.

Federal taxes from income are way down, so there is less money to flow back to the states. (Our War Dept isn't helping any at all either.)
The reason Federal taxes are way down is because the Well-to-Do are not paying their fair share AND of all the Living-Wage-Jobs that have been either shipped overseas, or otherwise eliminated. Average wages are flat to way down, compared to the obscenely low tax and tax free profits of big business, which reduces the money that otherwise would benefit "We the people..."
Also, most states do have both sales and income taxes.
If the Well-to-Do would start paying their fair share, the increased money flowing to the Federal Government, would start flowing back to the States again and would go a long way toward eliminating the pressure to raise sales taxes.
Increasing State sales taxes only prolongs the real problem caused by starving the Federal Government.

The biggest problem with Florida is that the Republicans have a strangle hold on the State.
