Internet Sales Tax - The Pros & Cons

This is a special show in which we will be discussing proposed federal legislation intended to establish a unified system of taxation of internet sales.

Our featured guests include:

• United States Senator Michael Enzi of Wyoming, a co-sponsor of the Senate Bill;
• United States Congresswoman Jackie Speiers, from California, a co-sponsor of the house bill;
• Betsy Laird, Senior Vice President, Office of Global Public Policy for ICSC; 
• David French, Senior Vice President of Government Relations for the National Retail Federation; 
• Robert W. Wood, Esq. of Wood, LLP, a tax attorney who has written numerous articles for Forbes and specifically, regarding this issue;  and
• Steven DelBianco, Executive Director of NetChoice, a coalition of trade associations, eCommerce Businesses, and online consumers; 

During this conversation, we will be exploring the reasons why these bills have been proposed, why federal the federal government has gotten involved in what seems to be state taxation issues, who benefits from this legislation and whose interests will be most negatively effected.

This show is not an endorsment of the proposed legislation, but is an attempt to air out and fully express both sides of the argument so that our legislators and listeners can make the best informed decision possible.
