with are 50 different tax codes, 50 different sets of regulations in 50 different states. on the other hand, retail stores, the big box stores, sears, jc penney, walmart have all hooird big-time lobbyists to fight this. the retailers association, shopping centers association spending over half a million in the last quarter to get lobbyists to fight this. they actually want to see the online stores charging tax to, as they say, level the playing field. bottom line, where is this going? we've got a new bill sbg sbro dugsed? congress this week to see if, in fact, congress will allow states to levy those taxes to bring in more revenue. >> better get clicking then. president obama making another west coast swing this friday on veterans' day. he will first lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier in arlington national center in washington. he'll then board "air force one" and head to san diego.
