They keep running the stupidist commercial (during Rush!) here in PA – Some dire voice tries to get people to call their congress-creature and complain about Amazon not paying “their fair share” (where, of course, if they collected sales taxes all that would happen is WE would be paying more and our useless government would rake in MORE of our money for doing absolutely nothing except demanding it). Their justification for this, laughably, is that Amazon “getting away” with this is hurting local business, who consequently aren’t paying LOCAL taxes from sales, and consequently it’s hurting... you got it, OUR CHILDREN because schools just aren’t getting enough money.
Boy, the BS meter sure went red on THAT one.
So... what’s next... if Amazon sells a DVD for $9.99 that Joe and Mary’s CD emporium charges $18.99 for, is that “unfair”, too?
Really. These !@(*#’s won’t stop until we’re a communist country AND our economy is completely destroyed... all in the name of “fairness.”
