Actually, it is logical. A brick and mortar store needs roads, parking lots, street lights, snow plowing, signage, and other stuff that Barack Obama summarizes under "you did not build that".

An on-line fulfillment center does not need a paved road, or signage; just a way to deliver goods and services that satisfies the customer need.

Why do we bother to call someone a Republican or a De,mocrat? Once elected they all become hogs at the trough.

There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman”

Most Americans think this was hyperbole on the part of The Beatles, but in fact, at the time, Britain had a 95% tax rate that applied to folks like them.

If you are for taxing the Internet then you are for tyranny and not for freedom. To give these government creeps more power is ridiculous. enough taxes and enough power to these government creeps. there are too many taxes, too much government , too many laws etc. We need to repeal not add more taxes.

“If you are for taxing the Internet then you are for tyranny and not for freedom.”

If you are for taxing brick and mortar and not the internet, then you are a tyrant. Taxes should not hold sway on success or failure in America. Taxing one business and granting “freedom” to another is the stuff of tyranny.

Selective outrage on taxes is not conservative.
