  1. Online tax cheats: Being young is no excuse

    Contrary to what it <a href="http://generationopportunity.org/press/facing-mounting-pressure-from-youth-activists-congress-kills-internet-tax/">claimed</a> Thursday, the libertarian advocacy group <a href="http://generationopportunity.org/who-we-are/">Generation Opportunity</a> hasn't killed a Senate-passed bill to compel most online retailers to collect sales taxes.

  3. Web isn't a duty-free zone

    The U.S. Senate is expected to vote next month on a bill that could require online retailers to collect sales taxes from customers in every state that imposes them. The <a href="http://lat.ms/17YgwBT">measure</a> has been bashed by opponents as a tax increase that would cripple small Web businesses. It's not, and it won't. Instead, the Marketplace Fairness Act would eliminate an outdated restriction that favors those who can shop online over those who can't or won't. That's reason enough for it to become law.
