crew and you sell something online. got a store in a given state, you're required to collect the sales tax at the point of sale online. but if you're a retailer that doesn't have a store in that state, you don't have to collect it. the consumer is supposed to volunteer it on his own on his tax return. but, of course, people don't do that. >> imagine that. >> right. so, again, the point is that if you have a sales tax in your state, you're liable to pay that tax. this would make the online seller collect that tax and send it to the state. >> let's talk about this. thanks, john harwood there, very much. mandy? >> indeed. let's talk more about this. indeed we have joining us today david french, senior vice president of the national retail federation. that's an association of retailers that is working to support the proposed new law. steve dobianco is executive director of net choice, an association of retailers including ebay working to oppose it. to both of you, great to have you on the show. david, i'll start with your s
