The Obama Administration is pushing a law allowing states to tax Internet sales. In addition to being a big tax hike, it opens the door to government taxation, oversight, regulation, and intrusion into the Internet. The bill should be defeated. Hands off the Internet.
Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) are expected to introduce a bipartisan bill aimed at increasing your taxes by taxing purchases you make on the internet. The bill’s name is deceitfully titled the Main Street Fairness Act of 2011 – it is neither main street nor fair. The bill seeks to hurt online retailers and consumers alike, and will suppress internet entrepreneurship and your wallet.
