The Republicans elimated taxes on those most able to pay. When there are no jobs with incomes of $50,000 or more for blue collar workers, and the Domocrats are back in power, the taxes on those most able to pay will rival those of Great Britian, city income taxes, state imcome taxes and there will have to be a massive federal tax increase just to pay off the Republican debt No Republican will be elected, from sherrif to president. This is the sleeper issue of the 2004 political campaign. Watch it catch fire, no later than early next year in the Democratic primaries.

Rep. Istook of Oklahoma, the one and only who has stopped the Feds from releasing $500 million to Puget Sound Transit is now advocating a NEW TAX on the internet. So Jennifer Dunn who lobbied Istook to block Sound Transit Funding is now going to have to come to grips with a bill that will tax internet sales and useage. She now is between a rock and the two faced representative from Oklahoma.
In the other direction, Rep. Ernest Istook (R-Okla.) and several cosponsors recently introduced H.R. 3184, the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Act, which would eliminate existing federal barriers to state and local taxation of interstate commerce and Internet sales. Specifically, the Istook bill would give congressional blessing to the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA), an ongoing effort by many state and local leaders to enter into a formal compact that would simplify and harmonize sales tax administration among the states to get around constitutional hurdles to taxing interstate vendors.

US State Department protests televangelist's nuclear threat.
Now we know that Pat Robertson is a nutcase. If anybody but some self-important, fascist, right-wing, neocon, "christian" said this in a public venue, Ashcroft would have them in the Guantanamo lock-up concentration camp, quicker than you can say, WTF.
