Some Interesting arguments against the Internet tax bill.

Ok...so I was doing my daily scan on the I Internet, looking for any recent developments on where the issue stands legislatively. And apparently it is now in the hands of the House of Representatives. It is expected to stall there, but that does not mean the fight is over by any means. We MUST contact our house or representatives to make sure our voices are heard! 

Here is a rather interesting article I ran across today... http://smallbiztrends.com/2013/05/internet-sales-tax-bill-stall.html
When you have a few minutes, you should really read this. It is a good informative and unbiased article that basically weighs the pros and cons, but again....from where I'm sitting the cons would far outweigh the pros. But...that is just MY opinion on the subject. Give this a read and make up your own mind, but I think...you may be inclined to agree, that...though big business may stand to support this due to their ability to monetarily compensate...it is people like me, and the small business owners out there that stand to really lose in this deal.

Here is another article I found that pretty much proves my point:

These are very valid and well thought out reports of the potential for disaster with this bill. So please if you sell ANYTHING on line, if you are like me....someone who makes their living...however small it may be, off the Internet...then you should be as scared as I am about having this bill pass. Please contact your house or representatives, make them see how detrimental this is for the small Internet business community now...before it is too late.

You can also help by sending us a donation to support this cause. Every penny donated goes to fund the "keeping the Net Free" movement. Which is dedicated to protecting the rights of Internet users around the world! Please help us today with this very serious issue. Call your representative today, let them know how you feel...make even a small donation....even $00.25 helps. Whatever you can spare, because just like taxes...it all adds up...a little bit here, a little there, and before you know it, we have reached our goal of having the bill thrown out!
