Fairness my ass.

The Marketplace Fairness Act is about one thing and one thing only and that's increasing revenue for States and local governments. How is it fair that the brick and motor business only has to charge the one tax rate while the internet business has to account for the tax rates in all fifty states and God only knows how many jurisdictions within each State. Oh, and some of those internet businesses are brick and motor supplementing their incomes with the internet. Collecting taxes for so many jurisdictions is cost prohibitive and might very well be the end of smaller businesses. The large internet retailers that support this bill don't care about small business and neither do these governors or the politicians supporting it.
