Internet Sales Tax Bill Sometime this Week... Maybe as soon as TODAY! Please watch the video on the 'Marketplace Fairness Act' below and then sign the petition and contact your Senators and Representatives Watch the Informational Video HERE This bill is being touted as an effort to level the playing field between brick-and-mortar retailers and on-line retailers. The truth is, this bill will make it so burdensome to do business on-line, that it will drive many small internet sellers out of business--which is why the large on-line retailers support it! The pending legislation would require sales tax to be collected by on-line retailers and submitted to over 9,000 taxing bodies nation-wide! Small retailers don't have the infrastructure and employee base to comply with such regulation and would have to close their doors. This means more workers unemployed and clears out the competition which is helping to keep the prices of the big retailers low, leading to higher prices paid by consumers! Anytime the government gets involved in making things "fair" they end up making things worse for everyone!!!! |
