Thanks. I'm spreading the word.

Under the Marketplace Fairness Act, online retailers would have to collect taxes for all of the 9,600 separate taxing districts in across the United States. Not just that, but online sellers would have to keep track of each state and locality's definition of what constitutes a taxable good, as well as thousands of various filing and registration procedures, threshold and tax holidays if they hope to remain in compliance. That suffocating deluge of red tape will close businesses, kill jobs and hike the cost of goods.

They should just rename it as the "Amazon-Walmart Small Business Killer Act".
