I think you'll also find the history behind the Constitution very interesting. Listen here.

Retail Online Sales Tax - A Nightmare for Sellers

Tuesday Jan 21, 2020
Back in November we promised you a return conversation with attorney George Isaacson from Brann & Isaacson a law firm in Maine. Mr. Isaacson represents multi–channel marketers and electronic merchants throughout the United States in connection with state sales, use and income tax matters, as well as regulatory issues. I sat down with George in Maricopa, Arizona where he was speaking to members of the National Tractor Parts Dealer Association about the impact that 12,000 tax entities in the United States has on the economics of small and medium size companies. What he says will shock you and how to fix it may give those of you selling on the Internet some...hope.

And, maybe that's the idea. Here I visit with Cynde Cronin and Ned Flynn from Aureon HR about all of that and more. Plus, Cynde has a story that you are not going to believe.
