US Lawmakers Push for Internet Sales Tax
Now these Halfwits want to tax us via the Internet! Don't Americans Pay More Than Enough Already?
Earlier this month, a large collection of lawmakers introduced the Marketplace Fairness Act in both the Senate (S. 336) and the House (H.R. 684). Lawmakers who oppose the measure have renamed it more appropriately, the "National Internet Tax Mandate" because that's what it is.
The law essentially does three things:
1. Forces customers to pay sales taxes for online purchases.
2. Forces states to "simplify" their sales tax laws.
3. Forces online retailers to collect and remit state sales taxes..
That's right, no transaction in America must be allowed without the State taking its portion. The legislation has so much corporate support that it has its very own website which can be viewed below and describes the law as follows:
http://www.marketplacefairness.org/
"The Marketplace Fairness Act grants states the authority to compel online and catalog retailers ("remote sellers"), no matter where they are located, to collect sales tax at the time of a transaction - exactly like local retailers are already required to do."
If this legislation passes you can bet it will open the door for the government to begin regulating more aspects of Internet businesses. This must be opposed.
Tell Congress if they want this Tax so badly, then Let The Cost Come Out Of THEIR OWN Personal Pockets. If not, then tell these traitorous parasites to go shove their vaunted Internet Tax.
