James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, would have opposed proposed Internet Tax

This is yet another tax grab by government, and a way to tax everyone, while stifling the free market.

"We may be assured by past experience, that such a practice [as some states charging high taxes on goods from other states] would be introduced by future contrivances..." --James Madison (1788)
According to Patriot Post:

Executive Summary: Senate Democrats and Republicans voted 74-20 in a cloture to move S743, the "online sales tax," to the Senate floor for a vote early next week. This huge tax collection scheme will stifle product and market competition, and innovation and entrepreneurship. That is precisely why, in addition to the Obama administration, mega-retailers like Walmart back this oppressive legislation, and why all advocates of free enterprise need oppose it.
