I completely protest. This is very disturbing, and a stretch of the law too far. It's obvious that the USA Federal Government, and state and county governments, abuse taxpayer funds and have some ridiculous programs. However, instead of trimming back and fighting something that is tough to fight, once again the government finds it's all too easy to find yet another tax. The trouble is, in the bad economy, this was one escape valve that self-employed have been using successful to stay afloat. First we were already taxed on our income for being self-employed, and then taxed again on income, but now we're potentially going to have our employment cut back as etailer after etailer drops CPA affiliate marketing. Time and again, when the government gets involved with the web, they prove their incompetence. It's kind of like the time when the government tried to consider online sales tax. But the politicians didn't realize that this isn't like local business sales tax. I mean, the Internet has no geography. With local retail businesses you drive a car to, you can raise sales tax and people will pay it because it's a hassle to drive to a place where it might be a lower tax (in some cases). But with the Internet, the dopes in Washington don't realize that if we create an online sales tax, then people will just purchase goods overseas where there is not sales tax. And then businesses that may have had a nexus in the USA will simply move overseas as well. Brilliant move, Federal Government. So I'm glad at least we achieved a moratorium, but it's imperfect because the states disagreed and force me to collect local sales tax for serving customers in my state, and it's imperfect because the moratorium was only temporary and requires renewal.
