After sending the bill to the floor with no warning and no committee hearings earlier this week, Harry Reid is planning to hold a vote on the small-business killing internet tax bill sometime later today or early tomorrow.  <http://www.fontcraft.com/images/rlcaction.jpg>  <http://www.fontcraft.com/images/rlcaction.jpg>  <http://www.fontcraft.com/images/rlcaction.jpg> We have just hours to convince the Senate to vote down this economically disastrous bill!

  

This bill would amount to a devastating nationwide tax increase, shutting down internet businesses with crushing paperwork and additional expense, driving business overseas and creating an unprecedented and unconstitutional system where states are forced to enforce the taxes of other states against their own citizens. 

This bill is backed by big retail corporations which don't like competition from entrepreneurs and are using government to kill internet businesses the way they killed small local retailers, all with a big payoff to state and local governments.

On Tuesday Senator Rand Paul said this about the bill:

"At a time when businesses are already being strangled by job-destroying regulations, such as those imposed by Obamacare, the Internet Tax Mandate would add even more costs to our nation’s small businesses and job creators. The requirement to calculate sales-tax rates, much less collect those taxes, for each customer becomes even more burdensome when considering the various state, city and county sales taxes that will be imposed across the United States."

And he's asking for your support today:

"What we really need is freer markets, not government intervention or favoritism. For Republicans, less government should always be the answer. I encourage the American people to join me in urging Congress to do the right thing by rejecting the Internet Tax Mandate."

To get all the details on what you can do to stop this legisltation, please see our  <https://members.rlc.org/d/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=259&qid=147210> ACTION ALERT PAGE and take action today!

 

 

Congress cannot be allowed to continue to make war on the middle class and on small businesses.  They do not understand how the economy works and their policies lead to unemployment and growing economic inequality.  The Marketplace Fairness Act makes the marketplace less free and competition less fair.  It’s another bailout for big corporations which will cost jobs and drive productive middle class people into poverty.

Please use the link below to send emails to both your senators and also call them on the phone and leave a message with staff.
