What “Conservative Split” on the Marketplace Fairness Act?!Douglas Kellogg March 22, 2013 There has been some confusion, with a hand from the pro-unconstitutional Internet sales tax folks, over a so-called “split” amongst conservatives on the “Marketplace Fairness Act” (MFA). The reality is however, that there are precious few (if any) legitimately fiscally conservative groups, or groups with serious tax policy chops, that favor MFA. Let’s take a look at the rundown… Fiscally conservative groups opposed to MFA (a.k.a. unconstitutional Internet sales tax scheme): American Commitment Americans for Prosperity Americans for Tax Reform Campaign for Liberty Center for Freedom and Prosperity Center for Individual Freedom Competitive Enterprise Institute Digital Liberty Freedomworks Heartland Institute Heritage Action Institute for Policy Innovation Less Government National Taxpayers Union NetChoice R Street Rio Grande Foundation (New Mexico) Taxpayers Protection Alliance Credit is also deserved by Red State’s Erick Erickson who has courageously called out the interests behind this tax disaster. After that list, what conservatives are even left to be enthusiastic about this bill? Groups like American Conservative Union, sure, but where are the fiscally conservative tax wizards?: American Majority Americans for Job Security Association for Christian Retail Hudson Institute And…? The lists speak for themselves. Don’t fall for this talking point as the fight to protect the Internet, small businesses, the Constitution, and your pocketbook continues.
