Special Order on Internet Sales Taxes

by Norm Singleton on MAY 13, 2013 in NATIONAL BLOG
Set your DVRs! This Wednesday, Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie will be giving a one-hour special order speech after Wednesday’s votes on why Members of Congress should oppose the “Marketplace Fairness Act” (more adeptly named the “National Internet Tax Mandate”). Other freshman members who also oppose the National Internet Tax Mandate will join Representative Massie.

Representative Massie, and the other members who will be joining him, deserve praise for speaking out, as Campaign for Liberty has heard from well-placed sources on Capitol Hill that the GOP leadership is pressuring members not to speak out against the Internet Tax Mandate because it is a “divisive” issue. But what leadership really means is, it divides those who oppose raising the price of everything you buy online and imposing new regulations on the Internet from those who support crony capitalism and giving tax-hungry governors new sources of revenue.

Campaign for Liberty will provide more details on the timing and order of the participants as they become available.

He'll be joined by other members who will voice their opposition as well.

Don't know how some of you all thought he was Speaker when he was clearly sitting in the background. He wasn't hard to miss.

[Sola_Fide]

[Mr.NoSmile]

Topical-I read this article and just think 'No'

When it comes to Internet Sales Tax, you too should be honorable and support equality instead of looking out for your own interests. Anyone who is against the bill is simply selfish... I tend to follow a libertarian ideology. We are already taxed on our income, so it is not fair to tax us to use that same money. However, the legitimacy of double taxation is a separate issue saved for another day...We need to level the playing field.

I support a bill that will cause me to spend more money. I support a bill that is not in my best interest. Do you have the courage to do the same?

What? Side-note, well done on the House floor. Reading the tweets had shades of Ted Cruz reading tweets during Rand Paul's filibuster.

A duck walked up to a lemonade stand and he said to the man running the stand: Hey! got any grapes? The man said: No we just sell lemonade.

The duck said "You can't have a lemonade stand in your yard. Reported".
