Re: Interstate Commerce A number of states are violating the current ban. For that matter, a class action (filed by those mean nasty trial lawyers) in IL forced one of the bells to refund the taxes they had been collecting for internet access - they should have said NO to the state. The judges decision was based directly on the Internet Tax Freedom Act.
Congress can only pass laws, it is up to the executive branch to enforce them - and for some reason this administration has been very lax about taking on states who are violating the internet tax ban - not sure if TX being one of those states has anything to do with it - though it does make one think... |
