STOP THE INTERNET
TAX
On Thursday, the Senate voted to proceed to the Internet sales tax
bill. Unfortunately, the Senate Majority Leader scheduled the vote while Sen.
Cruz was in Texas attending the memorial service for the West explosion. Had
Sen. Cruz been present, he would have emphatically voted against this legislation
because he believes the Internet should remain a haven for entrepreneurial
growth. We should protect and cherish the freedom of the Internet -- not pass a
massive new Internet sales tax that would impose billions of dollars of new
taxes on America's small businesses.
In addition to being bad policy, Sen. Cruz also opposes the way
this legislation has been pushed through the Senate -- skipping the committee
process in an attempt to stifle debate. That is why Sen. Cruz joined a bipartisan coalition of senators urging Sen. Harry
Reid to allow for a thorough vetting of the bill through regular order.
