Americans are used to being taxed for good and services they purchase in person, but they remain opposed to carrying that over to the online world.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of American Adults oppose the federal government taxing goods and services on the Internet. Twenty-four (24%) favor online taxation, while 13% are undecided about the idea.
Findings have not changed much from a year ago, when 61% opposed such taxes, while 20% approved.
Majorities of Americans across all demographic categories oppose taxing goods and services on the Internet. But Democrats (31%) like the idea more than Republicans (19%) and adults not affiliated with either of the major political parties (22%).
This is not too shocking and why the California Legislature is struggling with Democrat sponsored legislation to tax online sales, the so-called Amazon Tax.
