Public warns Congress: force an Internet sales tax at your own risk
A new poll released by the National Taxpayers Union and R Street Institute showed that 57 percent of likely voters oppose letting state tax authorities require out-of-state retailers to collect sales taxes for them. Only 35 percent support the idea.
“Voters across ideologies and demographics oppose the Marketplace Fairness Act and support the current policy regarding the Internet sales tax,” the poll said, noting that opposition to the Internet sales tax is high among swing voters.
