He "clearly" didn't do anything. That tweet is a mess. About the only clear thing is his wish for "internet taxes"

Amazon should just tweet back saying "We will show our taxes if you show yours"

But that begs the question; if article 1, section 8 authorizes the federal government to "to lay and collect taxes" why was the 16th amendment necessary?
Because a 5-4 decision ruled the income tax was a capitation tax, which is specifically prohibited in a different clause.

A consumption tax doesn't qualify, since it's collected on transactions and not individuals. We've collected consumption taxes basically forever.

Let's please skip the part where you Google a tendentious law review article by some obscure professor and treat it as equally binding authority.

Very likely. Unfortunately with Trump you can never be 100% sure as he fails to use grammar and punctuation correctly.

Ya see, I did not know this. (I'm not a lawyer.)

I know at state and local levels we have collected sales taxes forever but at the federal level? Also excise taxes which sometimes fall in the category of consumption taxes are collected before the sale to the end user (unlike sales taxes).

In this thread and most of the time consumption tax is synonymous with sales tax. I should have made the distinction between the two even though sales tax falls into the broader category of consumption tax.

That makes sense especially using excise taxes as an example.


However sales taxes are collected on individuals, the consumer.
