New York Goes Gangsta With Tax Law

Online retailers doing business in New York will be required to register with the state beginning June 1, 2008 to collect taxes or face audits for prior quarters for failing to register.


Pop Superhero Says: How does NEW YORK changing TAX LAW to COLLECT TAXES from ONLINE RETAILERS, RAISE PRICES for INTERNET SHOPPING?  Now, Online Stores Selling to NY residents must RAISE PRICES to collect NY state taxes.  All out-of-state sellers will have to comply with NY or risk paying back taxes—LOTS of back taxes.  What if other states decide this is a good way to raise revenue?  Will every home business on the web then be require to collect taxes for ALL 50 STATES?  Just thinking about the paperwork is making me VERY DIZZY... 

Amazon.com is suing the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (DTF) over a new state law that requires Internet retailers to collect sales tax on purchases shipped to state residents.

"If the seller registers and starts collecting sales tax by June 1, the seller will not be liable for tax not collected for sales tax quarters prior to June 1."
Tom Bergin, New York Dept. of Taxation and Finance.
Amazon has argued that since it does not have a physical presence in the state that it should not be required to collect taxes on shipments going to New York. "Amazon has no physical presence in New York," according to the suit. "It does not own, lease, or otherwise occupy any physical property in the state, and none of its employees works or resides in the state."

In addition Amazon says the New York law is unconstitutional based on a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that claims states are prohibited from requiring out of state retailers to collect sales tax unless the company has a physical presence in the state.

In the Quill v. North Dakota case, the Supreme Court re-established the rule that a state could not impose sales tax collection on a business unless the company had employees or property in the state.

New York defends the law by arguing that the Amazon Associates program, which allows Web site publishers to receive commissions by promoting Amazon items through their sites make Amazon liable to collect taxes on its behalf for those affiliates who live in New York.

One piece of bright news for Amazon and other online retailers is that the state of New York is not seeking back taxes. Tom Bergin, a spokesman for the state Department of Taxation and Finance told WebProNews,"The legislation provides for a limited amnesty for online sellers who register as sales tax vendors and start collecting taxes by June 1, 2008."

"If the seller registers and starts collecting sales tax by June 1, the seller will not be liable for tax not collected for sales tax quarters prior to June 1. Conversely, if you don't register and it is later determined that you should have, you could be subject to tax dept audit for quarters prior to June 1."

Brick and mortar companies are generally supportive of the "Amazon Tax," saying it levels the playing field by forcing online retailers to collect state sales tax. The down side is that it could potentially mean fewer sales for online retailers.

The choice between paying $100 for an item or $108 would definitely affect the sales of other online merchants besides Amazon. In an increasingly uncertain economy the consumer cannot afford frivolous spending.

If the New York law is upheld, you can be sure a whole host of other states will follow its example and implement similar laws. The New York law is projected to generate $50 million in revenue this year and $73 million next year. An amount that any cash-strapped state would be happy to collect.

EDWARD NORTON IS ONE OF MY PERSONAL HEROES

Rather than embrace his celebrity & live a quiet, lavish life, he gives his time and energy (not to mention 10% of his money) to many environmental causes.  Why?  His grandparents taught his parents to think globally.  Then, his parents spoke of the importance of preserving the environment to *him* regularly. 

Bravo for Edward, what does this have to do with *you*?  You too can "Be a Hero..."  to your parents,
your kids, your neighbors and your Earth's future inhabitants.  Do your part NOT to leave your mark
on your planet.  Leave each space you encounter
as you found it, if not, better.  THIS IS *YOUR* PLANET...
PASS IT ON... BEFORE IT'S GONE!

"Strange Days" is an Earth Day series, hosted by
Edward Norton, addressing climate change and
ways *YOU* can save *OUR* planet. This video
is entitled "BAG THE BAG" and enlightened me
to the 500 BILLION PLASTIC BAGS we through away!

Marijuana Policy Project Alert:

----------- Lawmakers advocate 'right to dry' ------------  

MONTPELIER, Vt. - Lawmakers in Connecticut and Vermont are  
pushing legislation that would allow everyone to hang out  
their laundry in public. A similar bill that would overturn  
local ordinances or rules set by homeowners' associations  
failed to make it out of committee in New Hampshire, the  
Boston Globe reported. Backers of the "right-to-dry" bill  
say they will bring it up again in the next session. While  
clothes lines have tended to be associated with urban  
tenements or rural poverty patches, advocates say that  
outdoor drying instead of using an electric dryer is  
environmentally friendly. Many people also like the fresh  
smell. "People think it's silly, but what's silly is to  
worry so much about having to look at your neighbors'  
undies that you would prevent them from conserving energy,"  
said Vermont state Sen. Dick McCormack, a sponsor of that  
state's law. "We're not making a big deal over clothes-  
lines; we're making a big deal over global warming."

Marijuana Policy Project Alert:

FROM: Karen O'Keefe, MPP assistant director of state policies 
In March, Massachusetts legislative committees effectively killed a medical marijuana bill for the year, and favorably reported a separate bill to reduce the penalty for simple possession. 
Despite hearing powerful testimony from patients, the Joint Committee on Public Health sent medical marijuana bill H. 2247 to study on March 18. This means that the bill will not have a chance to pass; it will not be referred to another committee or to the full legislature. H. 2247 would have allowed patients with debilitating medical conditions to  possess, cultivate, and use medical marijuana to treat their symptoms. While this is very disappointing, it is not unusual for legislatures to consider medical marijuana bills for several legislative sessions before acting on them. Please visit
http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=Su1r_I0uyd0w0htQX936iQ..  to let your legislators know that this issue is important to you and that you'd like them to enact a medical marijuana bill next session. 

Two days after the medical marijuana bill was sent to study, the Joint Committee on Mental Health and Substance Abuse favorably reported out a bill, which would reduce the maximum penalty for possessing an ounce of marijuana to a $250 civil fine. The bill, S.1121, is now in the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. 
 
If your senator is on the ways and means committee, please call him or her to voice your support for reducing marijuana possession penalties. You can visit 
http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=1ggvvgDUGXnaBeSD3ThnKg.. to find out if your  senator is on the committee, to find his or her number, and to read talking points. 

 While it's important to contact committee members about S. 1211, the best hope for significantly reducing the penalties for simple possession of  marijuana and eliminating many collateral consequences that can haunt  marijuana users for life remains the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy's initiative. The legislature has thus far refused to reform marijuana possession penalties, despite bills being introduced for the past several legislative sessions. 

CSMP's initiative would reduce the penalty for possession of marijuana from up to six months in jail and a $500 fine to a $100 civil fine. It would also eliminate the chances of an arrest and CORI record, which sparks lifelong consequences in housing, employment, and other areas. The first round of signature gathering was successfully completed this fall, and the measure is  in the legislature. If the legislature fails to pass the bill by May 6, CSMP will have to gather 11,099 valid signatures between early May and June 18 to put the measure on the November ballot. Please help pass this historic initiative by visiting 
http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=7pfbZJQBR0PxQQw79W0_wQ.. andsigning up to volunteer with CSMP or donate to the campaign. 

Thank you for supporting the Marijuana Policy Project. Please pass this message on to others in Massachusetts, so that more voices for reform can be  heard. 
 ====================================================================== 
The Marijuana Policy Project hopes that each of the 180,000 subscribers on  our national e-mail list will make at least one financial donation to MPP's work in 2008. Please visit http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=OgVZZGpuEFO1R1qXSFzqPw.. donate now. 

MPP will be able to tackle all of the projects in its 2008 strategic plan  --
http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=W1Bf0_qh9RschNO_0XpDzQ.. if you and other allies are generous enough to fund our work.

Country Singer Confirms Affair With Clemens

Singer Says Relationship Wasn't Sexual Until Later

Country music singer Mindy McCready confirmed Monday that she had a long-term affair with pitcher Roger Clemens, the New York Daily News reported.

"I cannot refute anything in the story," McCready told the Daily News, which broke the story at midnight Sunday. The Daily News reported that McCready and Clemens, who is under investigation for perjury after he told Congress and federal officials he never used performance-enhancing drugs, met in a karaoke bar when the singer was 15 and Clemens was a 28-year-old married father of two. At the time Clemens was playing for the Red Sox and was at the Florida bar with his teammates, according to the newspaper.

McCready read a prepared statement Monday. "Yes, I have known Roger Clemens for a long time," McCready said, according to the Daily News. "He's a kind and caring man. He's also a legendary athlete. The central topic in the debate, however, regards his professional life, not his personal life.

Did this Pop SUperhero ever mention she had a Rottweiler-Labrador mix dog?  I also shared space with a mini-daschund at the same time... what a pair!  That tiny dog was older, and had helped to raise the Pitbull mix.  One day, when we couldn't find the little  dog's bowl, we used the big dog's water dish for the little one's food... HUGE MISTAKE.  As soon as the daschund went to eat, the "Rottie" lunged for the tiny "hotdog's" throat, and broke his jaw.  Remember, these dogs were raised together for 6 years, from the birth of the Rottweiler, without a single fight.  LESSON?  DOGS ARE POSSESSIVE, PRIMAL ANIMALS.  NEVER PUT FOOD or WATER OF 1 DOG IN ANOTHER DOG'S DISH & NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A ROTTWEILER or PITTBULL WHEN A SMALLER CREATURE or CHILD IS NEAR THEM.

It is because of this that I can understand the actions of a  
Minneapolis woman who bit a pit bull on the nose to get the  
dog to release the grip it had on the throat of her Labrador  
retriever.  

Amy Rice said she tried to pry the jaws of the female pit  
bull apart to free her dog, Ella, but she was forced to re-  
sort to more drastic measures when the large dog refused to  
relent.  

"I ended up biting the pit bull on the nose," she said. "I  
didn't plan it, that's what happened. I broke the skin and  
had pit bull blood in my mouth. I knew what happened and I  
knew that it wasn't good."  

Rice said Ella has been afraid to go for walks since the  
confrontation. She said the Labrador was given several  
staples and stitches to her head and suffers from a crushed  
ear canal as a result of the attack.

EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN... TAKE ACTION NOW... SENATE VOTE 6PM THURS! Convince Your Senators to Vote for the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act HERE! WOMEN'S RIGHTS,EQUALITY,FEMALE EMPOWERMENT,GIRL POWER,POP SUPERHERO,COOKE CUTTER GIRL,POWER OF PINK

NOW Action Alert
Support NOW's Work April 22, 2008: Equal Pay Day Tell a Friend

Action Needed

Background

All NOW Actions

Contribute to NOW's Campaign to Win Fair Pay for Women

Senate to Vote on Fair Pay TOMORROW AT 6:00PM

Convince Your Senators to Vote for the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

Action Needed:

Call toll free at 1-866-338-1015 right away! The Senate switchboard operator will answer, and you can ask to be connected with the senators from your state (don't worry if you don't remember their names). For each of your two senators, leave a message with your name and address (some will only count calls from residents of their own state) and say that you hope the Senator will vote for the Fair Pay Act that is coming up for a vote on Wednesday at 6pm.

Call your senators toll free at 1-866-338-1015 right away and convince them to vote for the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act!

Thanks to your calls and messages so far, the Senate is now scheduled to debate this bill throughout the day tomorrow, and will be voting on the House-passed Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (H.R. 2831) at 6pm. Please encourage your Senators not only to vote for this bill but to also lobby their colleagues to vote in support of this essential effort to restore the right to fair pay.

Call your Senators' offices NOW at 1-866-338-1015

With your help, we won the battle in the House of Representatives last year to restore our right to equal pay.

With your help, we have generated enough steam to get it before the Senate tomorrow.

We need your help once again to pass it in the Senate and send it to the president for signature. Bush has threatened a veto, so we must keep the pressure on – because we will need a large enough vote in the Senate to make this a VETO-PROOF bill. Please help us keep the pressure on until this bill becomes law!

CALL NOW!

After you have called, please contribute to NOW's Campaign to Win Fair Pay for Women!

Background:

Last year the Supreme Court sharply limited the ability of women who have suffered pay discrimination to seek back pay and other compensation. Immediately after the Court denied Lilly Ledbetter's claim for pay discrimination last May, the House passed the the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and (better late than never) it's now the Senate's turn.

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act will fix the Court's constitutional misinterpretation and ensure that pay discrimination victims get their fair day in court. This Act will simply return us to the longstanding rule that treated each and every discriminatory paycheck as a new act of discrimination.

It's sad enough that women are still only paid 77 cents or less to men's dollar, even though civil rights laws banned wage discrimination over four decades ago. The Supreme Court's decision could push back much of the progress that women have been making in closing the wage gap. Congress must restore those rights.

Call your Senator's office today at 1-866-338-1015! This toll-free number will be available through tomorrow (Wednesday).

WakeUpWalMart.com
"We are not green."
--Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott

Dear Lynn,

Today is Earth Day. As you know, on April 22nd we typically focus on environmental stewardship, reducing our ecological impact, and preserving our planet for future generations.

Then again, if you happen to be Wal-Mart, you might just use Earth Day as a pretext for a national "merchandising and marketing campaign."

It's true--three weeks ago, Wal-Mart gleefully reported its intention to print nearly one third of a billion pages of "green" advertising this month, all inviting shoppers to splurge during it's "Earth Month" marketing blitz. Wasting a mountain of wood pulp in the name of sustainability is a surprisingly cynical move, even for Wal-Mart, but it is just a symptom of a broader problem--Wal-Mart is greenwashing, and it's getting away with it.

In spite of all the "green" hype, Wal-Mart's business model is linked to serious environmental problems. The long-anticipated Wal-Mart sustainability report cited a significant global increase in CO2 emissions in 2006, after the company's green campaign began. Worse still, at a recent conference, Wal-Mart's CEO Lee Scott flatly declared "we are not green," taking his audience aback. Still, despite the facts, some national and local news outlets continue to buy Wal-Mart's sustainability spin.

Let's set the record straight. Today, on Earth Day, let's ensure that America understands the truth about Wal-Mart's "green" hype.

Write your local newspaper about Wal-Mart's sustainability swindle

Frankly, we would rather have Wal-Mart hyping environmental sustainability than fighting food safety regulations or port security measures. At the same time, we can not sit idly while Wal-Mart uses slick, multi-million dollar marketing campaigns to mislead the American people.

Lee Scott agrees: Wal-Mart is not the "green" corporation depicted in Wal-Mart's advertising. This time, let's give Lee a hand. Help us debunk the myth of Wal-Mart's sustainability.

Set the record straight on Wal-Mart and the environment
