| Is this a Federal Government issue? I've never understood why the Congress stuck its nose into taxing internet access. It seems to me to be a state issue. But the quaint notion of Federalism seems to be a lost concept...
Congress can and should ensure that state taxes are not assessed on interstate e-commerce. |

Not that the federal government bothers with constitutional restrictions though- they act outside constitutional limits in most of what they do- leftist judges have interpreted the "interstate commerce clause" of the Constitution in such a way that grants the federal government almost absolute power over the states and thus rendering the 10th Amendment almost completely impotent. |
