The only way to defeat this bill is with a principled fight
The government already taxes a more than half our individual incomes though its various existing means. Yet, always, the govenment will claim that it needs more of our money.

Individual freedom and economic progress can only be acheived to the extent that both government power and taxation are reduced. This means that advocates of freedom and progress need to embrace two principles, that: (1) the current level of taxation should be reduced, and (2) no new taxes should be implimented. With internet shopping tax bill currently in congress, now is the time to mount a fight for the latter principle, while boycotting the work of men like Steve DelBianco, the director of the NetChoice coalition, who accepts all of the ideas and moral premises of his alleged advisaries but only protests that it is too soon to implement them.
