Governments rely on sales taxes.

The sales tax revenue is eroding as Internet sales increase.

Government looks for ways to make up the lost revenue.

Income?

Sales?

Property?

Where should they go?

Assuming there is such a thing as “lost revenue”...

Maybe quit giving businesses 5 or 10 year property tax “incentives” to build, then move on at the end of the tax breaks.

Maybe find ways to live within their means.

Maybe I could think of a place or three they could go, but it is Sunday; nor do I want to get the Mods riled at me.
