No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

LA Times And NY Times Want Amazon.com To Collect Taxes

Slashdot.org is reporting that the NY Times has a story that Amazon.com should be collecting more taxes for the government. Of course, in their knee jerk fashion the LA Times jumps in as well. If the business insn't located in the state...not state taxes! Those two papers are located in states that are being crushed under the burden of the excessive taxes their liberally controlled legislatures have enacted...to provide nanny state services...now they can't afford to pay for the services, CUT SPENDING!

California certainly won't. I doubt they can...neither will NY.
