[Wall Street Journal] "States are looking to tax digital goods, streaming AND cloud computing"

[Triggamatic]

They may be too late by the time this passes. I dont even see a use for netflix anymore with all the streaming sites popping up lately ....I even got my mama doing yify and she's 60.

like which ones? i'm completely out of the loopage on streams

Y'all do realize that the government has to find ways to replace all the lost revenue due to limited taxes on online shopping and digital goods right? Would you rather they just increase the income tax and tax on physical goods even more?

 

[The G.O.D II]

Illinois is already doing this with Netflix and spotify

 

[itsyoung!!]

states need money too

Nah. Theyve proven over decades they dont know how to spend it. Id say its time we stop giving em more money. Hiring police in California is a booming industry, we obviously got enough to pay them. What else the state need our money for.

Oh yea more stadiums and bridges and shyt we aint ask for

Schools still closing down at an alarming rate, yet Kobe Bryant taxes alone this lone year could keep 3-5 elementary schools open himself. So where the money going

I was disgusted when I found out the super tendant of the school district out here makes like 200k/year but talkin bout we gotta do cut backs on teachers. Nah bytch how bout you make 70k a year and use that 130k to save librarys and shyt if you care so much

Yify is my main, but if you google "insert movies -streaming" , alot of link will pop up

I'm not mad at them. They've been trying to do this for a long time.

If they figure out how it makes perfect sense.

Why shouldn't we have to pay sales tax if we buy something online?...

Hmm...but then again... Which state is the online merchant registered in?


This shyt is gon be difficult, brehs

 

[daze23]

yeah, who needs schools or roads

 

[ORDER_66]

I cant believe people are on here accepting this bullshyt they telling you, these people makes millions getting taxes from corporations and rich people, this is just another revenue stream so they can stuff their pockets!!! Taxing digital goods is absurd... Next thing you know is they raise they taxes on video games like austrailia where its $10 tax on top of the $60 charge...

Please don't tax torrents, popcorn time is Soo good to me

Doesn't matter. If the state institutes services based on forecasted tax revenue and then a portion of that revenue disappears, they either have to cut services or find a way to regain that income. It's just math.
