House GOP takes steps towards Internet sales tax
The National Taxpayers Union and the R Street Institute circulated a the results of two polls last week that found that 57 percent of likely voters oppose an online sales tax bill, with even a plurality of Democrats against the measure…
Andrew Moylan of R Street added that he believed Goodlatte was “appropriately skeptical” of the Marketplace Fairness Act, and that he didn’t see much chance of the bill surviving in the House in its current form.
“I think they have the basic idea right,” said Moylan, who also said the groups’ new poll “reinforces that this is bad politics.”
