No Internet tax proponents issue ban proposals

Article Abstract:

A plan to ban online tax collections is being pushed by an e-Freedom Coalition of over 20 consumer, taxpayer and public policy organizations. The proposal also includes a permanent ban on sales and use taxes that apply to online commerce.
