Do you have any links? This is the only article I could find that really went in depth
Senate Votes for Online Sales Tax, But Only Hypothetically - Businessweek
Saw a bunch of articles that said it died in the house committee. I see a lot of names that I keep seeing on other BS legislation a republican shouldn't be voting for. I really hope the '14 election cleans house on many of these POS RINOs.

This is basically a summary of what I've found on the webz:

In a non-binding resolution passed last week, 75 senators from both sides of the aisle agreed that states should be able to force any internet retailer who makes more than $1 million in sales annually to collect sales taxes for them, regardless of whether the retailer physically does business in the state.

The amendment to a budget bill merely takes the temperature of the Senate on the issue of a so-called internet sales tax. Another vote would still have to happen to send the idea on its way to becoming actual law. But any tax sponsored by a Wyoming Republican, in this case Mike Enzi, that Al Franken also supports seems destined for safe passage through the Senate.

Congress Backs Borderless Internet Sales Tax (And So Does Amazon)


So it still needs to be voted on. It hasn't passed........yet

Last 2 times I purchased from Amazon they charged tax, so I stopped using there service if all companies does this it will hurt Internet sales. Good old McCain and Graham they both belong in the Democrat circle.

They cannot if the retailer is out of state

Amazon placed a location here in Texas a year or so ago, therefore they can and have to charge state sales tax.

Even if the dropshipper is out of state ?
