Adam,


Very timely post. I just read the following article (http://reut.rs/ZBTsVY). Regardless whether the bill passes or not, the impact on almost ALL meteorite dealers is nil. Here is the key excerpt from the article, "It would also exempt merchants with online annual out-of-state sales of $1 million or less."

I am personally on my way to $1M in sales this year and will gladly pay the extra tax when I reach my goal. I have till December 31 to sell another $995,000.? Wish me luck. ;-)

>We need leadership more than ever in these financially depressed times.? Big government and the Post Office think that raising prices and taxes substantially is the solution during a depression?? Hello, Is there anybody at the helm?? Where is the "Commander With A Few Teeth" when you need some form of leadership?
