A top House Republican [Bob Goodlatte (RINO, Va.)] will release a new proposal in coming days that attempts to resolve the long-running dispute among retailers, state governments and online retailers over how to tax purchases made across state lines.
... sales would be taxed according to the tax base of the retailer and a single tax rate chosen by the consumer’s state, a Judiciary Committee aide said.
So, for example, an Ohio company shipping a pair of pants to Maryland would use Ohio’s rules for taxing clothing and Maryland’s tax rate. Currently, that seller only collects taxes on the sale if it has a presence in Maryland.

The Senate passed such a proposal with a bipartisan 69-27 vote in 2013. So far, it has stalled in the house.
To get past the WSJ paywall to read the article, simply google the title.
Bob Goodlatte = open borders Chamber of Commerce lackey.
They were talking about this exact same idea years ago.
Stupid rinos are stupid.
They should be finding ways to reduce taxes. Idiots.
The next time the Democrats control Congress they’ll pervert this into a national sales tax. Guaranteed.
“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
Ronald Reagan
2016 Government=Uniparty
Go Trump, win win win.
The power to tax, is the power to destroy.
These bass turds have driven our Natl’t debt up to 20 TRILLION dollars, and they’re hungrily coming after you for anything they can steal.
Read my tagline.
And they wonder why people don’t want to vote for Republicans
Good news for brick and mortar retailers. And for those who prefer shopping there.
AKA, internet ordering tax.
once upon a time, R’s would try to lower our taxes, not find sneaky ways to raise them up ever higher on us
The republicrats (U-uniparty) are doubling down on screwing over Americans for fun & profit for the politburo and their fellow cronies.
It is great to know Congress is working 24-7 to find new ways to crush American consumers. :-(
Forward, jerks.
WHAT!? They must feel pretty safe to do this so close to the election. I guess they’re past their primaries so there is less danger. The bastards!
Just “asshole” is good enough...
Stopping Obamacare's destruction of the economy?...."It's just not realistic. There is no legitimate way to make any headway on that subject."
Stop the Iran deal?...."It is 100% impossible to have any affect in that area.
Maintain adequate levels of defense spending?...We wish we could. Sorry. Our hands are really tied on this one."
Not doubling the U.S. debt in 8 years?...."Gosh we tried our best but Obama is so tough. We just couldn't stand up to him."
Renew the Import/Export Bank?...."Oh sure. That's easy. We can do that.
Increase the debt ceiling?...."Easy peasy. We can do that."
Increase internet taxes?...."No problem. We can get that done.
And people don't understand why the Republican base refused to vote for a Republican in the primary......
Say, where’s the bill/vote on the sale of h’care plans between States?
Nope, it’s always “How can we tax MORE...” (regardless if it falls w/out the legality of A1S8).
Anything benefiting The People, let alone the tax PAYER, it never a thought in their Socialist\Fascist ‘brain’.
Just like tax ‘cuts’, always with a sun-set clause, taxes? Those are ‘forever, unless voted to be killed-off’
Yea, the problem with he country is that the people aren’t taxed enough.
Yep, as when the price of gas dropped below $1.50 a gallon, they floated the idea of raising the fuel tax under the thought that we wouldn’t miss it.
String them all up. Anyone who votes for new taxation needs to go.
