Never thought I'd see the day when I agree with him.

Tax-free Internet shopping is safe for now thanks to Speaker John A. Boehner.


A bill granting states the ability to force out-of-state websites to collect Internet sales tax is dead, according to the Ohio Republican’s spokesman.


“The speaker has made clear in the past he has significant concerns about the bill, and it won’t move forward this year,” said spokesman Kevin Smith. “The Judiciary Committee continues to examine the measure and the broader issue. In the meantime, the House and Senate should work together to extend the moratorium on internet taxation without further delay.”


A bipartisan group passed the Marketplace Fairness Act out of the Senate last year on a 69-27 vote, led by Sens. Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., and Michael B. Enzi, R-Wyo., but it has languished in the House.

Republicans are against more taxation? Huh

And languished in the House? So was it first introduced in the Senate or something based on the final line? If so, then that doesn't make sense as the House has priority of starting bills related to money, including taxes
