Heidi Alexander said "I thank Senator Enzi for this opportunity, and in fact there is a Federal moratorium that prohibits State taxes on access to the Internet. I was in the middle of that debate several years ago, and when the Marketplace Fairness Act is enacted that ban will still be there. In other words, today there is a Federal ban on Internet access taxes, and after this law passes, there will continue to be a ban on Internet access taxes. This issue is not about taxing the Internet, it is about the collection of State sales and use taxes that are already owed. The complexities raised by our critics are unfounded, and I would like to ask Senator Durbin what his thoughts are on these claims." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
