This week's eWeek column offers more on the Internet tax controversy. As I said last week, I got a lot of nasty mail. And I made a boneheaded mistake in writing about the issue the first time.
So I've set the record straight and talked a little more about the political realities at play. It's going to be an interesting and long fight. A presidential advisory commission on tax "simplification" won't finish its work until September. That means that any work on the issue will start in an election year. In 2006, a third of the Senate and all of the House face re-election. That muddies the waters a bit more.
