Legislators say and members of the public think that online MERCHANTS are not paying THEIR share of taxes.
The statement must always be "online merchants who are not
COLLECTING sales tax".
The public needs to understand that one of the results of imposing the "affiliate" tax is that THEY would be the people paying it, not affiliates, not online merchants.
