The White House wants to tax all purchases on the Internet, and is supporting the Marketplace Fairness Act. The reason claimed is that this would “level the playing field for local retailers.” That is hogwash!
What this tax would do is help this criminal government steal much more money, and it would also allow for that same evil government to monitor all purchases on the Internet. In other words, the government would gain much more power over our pocketbooks, and would have the ability to prosecute more intense surveillance over the citizenry. It would be another step to destroy privacy.
The legislation related to this new tax (extortion) is S-743. As a note, 6 Republicans are co-sponsors of this bill. While it may not pass at this time, there is no way to know for sure until the voting begins. Regardless of its passage or not, it shows the intent of the political ruling class, and that intent is rotten!
