    Taxes should be based on services rendered by the government. An internet business does not require any services by the government.

    . . . businesses will also be forced to deal with as many as 9,600 tax zones and all the bureaucratic red-tape that goes with them. In 2012, then-Senator Jim DeMint called this effort "taxation without representation" -- he said: "Our nation was born from the idea of 'no taxation without representation'—that citizens should not be taxed by governments in which they have no political voice. ... Such online sales tax proposals are taxation without representation. The proposed federal law tells businesses that there is no escape from the clutches of tax-hungry politicians. That concept is antithetical to our federalist system, which promotes competition among our states for the best economic policies."

    I run a small business and the Banks (Credit Card Fees) and Gov't already make more money that I do on sales. It's unconscionable how greedy our Gov't has become and yet they want more and more and always more!

    This unnecessary tax is just another lever to initiate an entry point for escalation of greater taxation.

    As an Alaskan this bill would really hurt all of us who have to do most of our shopping on-line. We already have a significant freight cost to get the items here and in Ketchikan there is already a sales tax. WE ARE TAXED TOO MUCH! As one of the small business owners who has to pay every tax and gets NO benefits from them I urge you to not vote for this bill.

    If this passes then a massive lawsuit should be pushed to require that each separate taxing municipality/State has to provide suitable Taxing Representation for all American internet retailers. How many of those 9000+ taxing zones could afford to do that?

    The engine for US jobs, incomes and tax base is small business and internet sales are a very large part of small businesses that are hanging on in these tough economic times. An online sales tax and similar small business-unfriendly taxes and restrictions are NOT the way to economic survival.
