Then after the states can collect the taxes owed from ALL the people who owe them, the residents can lobby their representatives to lower the tax rate for everybody.
Or should we “lower the total revenue” for the government by allowing some people to cheat on their taxes?
Well, here's the problem with that argument;
The Durbin/Alexander bill specifically exempts web merchants who report less than $500K annually the previous year from collecting the tax, so by your definition, this very bill does allow some people to "cheat on their taxes."
There are huge constitutional problems with this bill, but this one may run afoul of equal protection concerns.
Would you support allowing brick and mortar point of sale merchants to avoid collecting taxation, as long as they grossed less than $500K annually?
The $500,000 requirement for collecting use tax is extremely arbitrary, and is reminiscent of the $100,000 requirement contained in the Colorado state law that was declared unconstitutional.
