Very interesting bill. I hate taxes. I love pure competition. Government seems to get in the way of both all the time.

[struggle]

Has the House already issued a similar bill?

[tflabo]

Does this bill go to Congress now? Shame on supposed conservatives for voting to raise taxes—pukes...

[GraceG]

“The Marketplace Fairness Act”

“The Marketplace Fairness Act”

THEY NEED TO STOP GIVING NAMES TO THE G_D D_MMNED BILLS BECAUSE THEY ARE USING EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION ON THEM.

[SandRat]

Bet it dies in the House.

[BipolarBob]

Give me names. Anybody that passes more taxes in a recession should pay with their job.

[Sirius Lee]

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

If only words had meaning.

[eddie willers]

No quarter.....vote all the YEAs out.

I don’t care if you love them...this a step too far.

[Democrat_media]

Hope Republicans in the House stop this

no more taxes

no more government (when is enough enough?)

no more laws

we need to repeal the 1965 immigration ACT

repeal Obamacare

and keep repealing laws

[Don Corleone]

If passed this bill would require sellers to be aware of the separate taxing rates in more than 8000 locations around the country. Can you say STOOPID LAW?

[Blood of Tyrants]

The legislation would overturn a 1992 supreme court ruling that said a state could not force a retailer to collect sales tax unless the retailer had a physical presence in the state.

Does a law passed by Congress trump the Supreme Court?

[plain talk]

Name of the bill is a lie. a brick and mortar business can sell online and many do. Taxing the internet will hurt brick and mortar businesses also. It hurts the American taxpayer by taking away more of their descretionary spending. Thus it hurts ALL business.

[jazusamo]

Boehner and the House had better shoot this down!

[Tarheel25]

I wonder if this would apply to third party sellers on the big online shopping sites.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Article 1 Section 7

"All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives;"

Has this already passed the House, or are we just disregarding The Constitution when it is convenient?

[Cyber Liberty]

McCain voted for it, Flake voted "present." Those MFCS's. My Senators F***ed me again. The first National Sales Tax and the camel's nose is well inside the tent. And the two Republicans from Arizona voted for it. It ain't Barry Goldwater's state anymore.

Link.

[dalereed]

How can this be constitutional when long ago mail order sales across state lines were ruled exempt under the Commerce Clause?

The only difference between mail order sales and internet sales is the method of merchant contact by the buyer, mail order is by mail or phone and internet is by internet or phone.

The delivery method is the same.

They just can’t leave capitalism alone, got to
smother it any way they can.

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

The youngsters in Ohio whom Obama told to “reject voices warning of government tyranny” should just LOVE this.
