WASHINGTON, Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congress has an opportunity to bring our economy into 21st Century by passing Marketplace Fairness. Marketplace Fairness will put Main Street Retailers on the same level playing field as Internet retailers who have an unfair competitive advantage since they do not have to collect sales taxes.
