This is BS

And some of the comments reinforce Pravda’s opinion piece saying illiterate Americans re-elected Obama. (Politically and economically illiterate.)

LITTLE ROCK — GOP U.S. Rep. Steve Womack is backing a law that would allow states to levy sales tax on online and catalog purchases.

A Wednesday event is planned in Washington to rally support for the so-called Marketplace Fairness Act, which is backed by the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Womack is scheduled to speak along with Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming, Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Rep. Jackie Speier of California and Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont.

All five are sponsors of the bill, which would allow states to require online and catalog retailers to collect and pay sales taxes.

The National Conference of State Legislatures says states are expected to lose more than $23 billion in taxes this year on Internet and catalog sales as opposed to taxes collected by “brick-and-mortar” businesses.

(“Market Fairness Act.” Here is a clue as to why this is a bogus act: Any law that uses the word “Fairness” intends to take some of your rights or more of your money.

(Here is a lie: States “are expected to lose more than $23 billion in taxes on Inetrnet and catalog sales …” How can a state lose tax money it cannot collect?)
