One of the Republicans constitutencies is small business owners, and they generally like the internet sales tax proposals, since it makes them more competitive with online stores.
- mullingitover 14y agoTrue, but another republican core constituency is people who hate paying taxes, and I argue that it's a more important constituent group than the small business lobby. This might seem like a good move for the republicans now, but I suspect they'll regret it in primary season when their challenger can paint them as "the incumbent, who brought sales taxes to the internet."
