The Marketplace Fairness Act 2013 being debated by the U.S. Congress and the American public, is it fair or unfair?

Your website addresses the issue of collecting taxes and I can imagine this can be codified reasonably easily and might not be too much of a burden on the collection side, but does not discuss how compliance works to pay the taxes to the various states and municipalities. I don't operate an ecommerce business and never will, but I would be worried about that if it were me. Providing adequate documentation and reporting to 50 states and however many municipalities sounds like a complete nightmare to me. I assume that's something you'd need to do monthly or perhaps quarterly. You get questions back from a bunch of those entities each time. Not obvious to me how that could be anything but a huge timesink and is probably not something that those businesses have any particular skill in, so there is a start-up effort and probably on-going compliance expertise required to learn enough to do it properly. And the $1M minimum sounds like a bogus metric to me. To economic novices, that may sound like a lot of money, but it isn't. If the business operates at, say, a 3%-5% net margin (which is not uncommon for retail sites), they don't actually have much money to work with to implement the IT and staffing solutions required to make this a reality. So is it fair or unfair. I don't know enough to say.
