Has it occurred to anyone that the proposed internet sales tax is exactly a tariff between states? We all know how tariffs suppress the economy.

Its intent is to encourage us to buy in-state even if the state-has high sales taxes as lib MD and CA both just raised theirs and WA has a high-one.

So big chains like Walmart Lobby $$$$ Senators and House members for this.

But this puts a number of GOP in a bad situation.

What if they apposed the tax cut extension because billionaires were NOT included in it and then they support this on us non-billionaires?
That would expose them.

This is sure to harm the US Postal Service too.
