Since the Internet tax advantage is hurting the stores, logically you'd think they'd make the stores tax free to compete. That's not the way government works though. More likely I'd be looking for the government to start taxing the Internet more. It's the socialist way.
Irony isn’t the word there.
No taxes, no revenues. No revenues, no Democrats!
I think with home sales down 30% that we can indeed pin Home Depot’s woes on the economy. The notion that it’s due to a boycott is pure fantasy.
If your assertion were true one would think that Lowe’s would be on the same list. As it is not, I will categorize your assertion as “bovine excrement.”
Then check again. Sales are down at Lowes. As a matter of fact, worse. Home Depot is reporting that sales are down 3.4%, Lowes is down 8.1%. Dividends amongst Home Depot stock holders has been reduced to a paltry 3.39% as of 7-6-10. Lowes dividend yield has been reduced to only 2.17%. So perhaps, since you’re obviously running your mouth without any pertinent information to back it up, you should step back and realize that all the bovine excrement is coming from your quarter.
I must have missed Lowe’s name on the “endangered” list. Apparently queer nation buys a lot of wood.
This is tragic for our area of southern Ohio. Many of those jobs are about the only jobs left.
Government solution: let’s tax them more.
If I were a retail outlet owner, why in the world would I bring someone new on if it’s obvious that my business costs are going to skyrocket?
The list in question was the work of a single guy for a weekly column. You honestly didn’t expect that list to be all inclusive did you?
