The taxation of Internet sales

Controversy surrounds the taxation of Internet sales. Among the chief concerns is equity, economic efficiency and administrative feasibility. An internet sales tax is a sales and use tax collected and remitted on remote sales, many done online. In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states could impose such obligations on sellers lacking physical presence in the state, vastly expanding the reach of these collection and remittance requirements.

 

  • What are the equity issues involved in including Internet sales in the general sales tax base?
  • What are the issues in economic neutrality raised in taxing Internet sales?

The Fourteenth Amendment’s citizenship provision

The Fourteenth Amendment’s citizenship provision means to provide citizenship to anyone born in the territory of the United States. The United States should continue this policy in order to imply a municipal vision of the core country, in which national membership is contingent on the adoption of state institution allegiance and acceptance of a collective political culture through socialization which is a principle of jus soli.

The constitution’s text clearly defines what it means to be a US citizen, as well as the privileges that should be provided to not only US citizens, but also anyone who finds themselves on US soil. Taking away one’s right to be a citizen of the United States serves no purpose other than to spread hate and further divide individuals who live in the country, whether they are citizens or not.

It singles out specific immigrants and reinforces prejudices about immigrants and their intentions for coming to the United States. Birthright citizenship is a right granted to all people born within the United States’ jurisdiction, according to the Fourteenth Amendment. This legal principle should not be up to argument because it has already been interpreted and decided.

Birthright citizenship devoids discrimination and creates equality because citizenship is not granted based on socioeconomic status, and every citizen has the same opportunity to exercise their rights. While birth tourism raises certain concerns, its occurrences are infrequent enough to overturn a long-standing legal theory in the United States. Rather, the government must continue to take steps to protect birthright citizenship.

How  media in politics has evolved in US history

How  media in politics has evolved in US history, particularly with the recent explosive growth of the internet and social media?

Does the mainstream media generally achieve its ideal of objectivity and neutrality? Or is it inherently plagued by certain biases?

Does ideology (left-liberal or conservative) tend to color what is reported (and how) and what is not? Does the corporate bottom line lead to “infotainment,” sensationalized negative news, “soft news,” and superficial sound bites dominating mainstream media reporting?

California’s executive branch

California’s executive branch has been described as independently elected. It is described this way because while the top officials in the executive branch (e.g., Secretary of State, Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction) are appointed by the Governor, the state Senate must still confirm them.

Because of this, the Governor will often appoint members to the executive branch who are members of the opposition party. Is this true or false?

United States Ambassador

United States Ambassador It’s important that all individuals and groups in a society have the opportunity to participate meaningfully, to critique and direct outcomes for the community. It sounds like this group has not experienced that opportunity.

As President Obama said in May 2011, “Square by square; town by town; country by country; the people have risen up to demand basic human rights. We know that our own future is tied to this region by the forces of economics and security, history and faith. Somehow in the course of history, the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has built up for years.”

Ecological voices are newer perspectives and have sometimes found it difficult to integrate their goals into political systems. When each individual’s interests are recognized and form part of the dialogue for decision-making, then the communities’—in this case, the international communities’—interests will be realized. But it is causing a great deal of instability on international oil markets, which causes hardship for almost everyone. We need to keep talking with this group. On the other hand, we also have to be alert to the possibility that it is a terrorist cell masquerading as an ecological group. Every country has to be vigilant in its own defense.

Go slow, and keep talking with this group. On the other hand, the deaths of innocents does not answer the calls for a better life. We must be prepared for the possibility that it is a terrorist unit.

Transnational advocacy networks (TANs)

Transnational advocacy networks (TANs) will often attract individuals in wealthy countries to support changes in less developed countries (LDCs), particularly for issues related to health, the environment, and human rights.

What impact is this dependence on far-away financial supporters likely to have on the work of the TAN in the host country? Are there examples where the priorities of the TAN’s supporters differ from those of its intended beneficiaries?
