GOOD: House hits brakes on Internet tax passed by Senate. We need fewer taxes, not more.

The excuse for taxing the internet is that "online tax is necessary to level the playing field between online and 'brick and mortar' retailers who must charge a tax." I've never quite understood the 'level playing field' excuse; I usually have to pay 'shipping & handling' charges which at, say, 8 bucks, easily offsets any sales tax advantage I get by purchasing online.

No, the 'Market Fairness Act' isn't about fairness, it's a tax grab, pure and simple.
