Congressman Jim Bridenstine Calls Internet Sales Tax Legislation Unfair

May 9, 2013

Last week, Congressman Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) expressed his opposition to the so-called Marketplace Fairness Act as he met with constituents back home in Oklahoma.  Among his chief concerns, was the fact that this new legislation would create new and unprecedented power for states to enforce their sales tax laws on businesses located in a completely different state.   In addition, he pointed out that this legislation would force businesses selling over $1million in total sales to comply with this new tax regime, which as he puts it “institutionalizes tax unfairness” and punishes successful small businesses and entrepreneurs online.
