Wake-Up Senator McCain an Internet Tax Bill Will Kill Jobs

by Jim Iannuzo

Senator McCain:

The Maricopa County Libertarian Party strongly opposes the Senate Bill known as the “Marketplace Fairness Act” which is nothing more than a scheme allowing states with high sales taxes to strangle those without. Competition among states with respect to taxes and regulation is the single most effective method to increase consumer choice and unburden business. Supporting this bill will result in a less consumer choice, reduced commerce and increasing sales tax rates. It amazes me that any politician would support a throttle on domestic production, thus I am hopeful that you won’t assume this role.
