Very good news - hopefully a sign of things to come from other Libertarians.

What is wrong with a 15% flat tax that everyone pays and with that you get rid of the IRS..........

As I understand, in the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Act H. R. 3184, the states are seeking federal authority to force retailers (in other states) to collect taxes on sales made to inhabitants of their state (i.e. they want retailers to collect sales tax on sales made via the Internet).

Both the house and senate versions of the Streamlined Sales bill have larger cosponsor list than the Fair Tax bills. I make the assumption that this is because they have a larger (state sponsored?) organization pushing their bill.

Since both groups seek a federal sales tax, my overall question is "Is there an opportunity to combine forces?"

But my immediate question is "When a state government does 'harmonize' its tax system with the Fair Tax, does the state then have the opportunity to collect a state tax along with the federal tax on sales and services that cross state lines?"
