I started to order something online yesterday and they were in CA and tried to charge me sales tax. I called and asked them if they had a warehouse or store in my state, they said no but they had to charge it. I have no idea if they were right or wrong and don’t care. I ordered it elsewhere with no sales tax. They start that it will drastically hurt online sales and their is HUGE money in that market. Nice job dems, tank the economy some more.
Lots of online sales are spur of the moment, things you don’t necessarily need. Taxes would probably be deal breaker on many of my online purchases. I can dump a cart as fast as I can fill it. Go ahead dems, it will keep more money sitting in my pocket.
It’s not like you get a great benefit when you order online, because one way or another the shipping cost has to be accounted for. It seems to me to be something of a wash usually. If I had to pay tax AND shipping, it would be an unfair penalty on me for using the internet. And yes, it would make me stop using it as much. Only trouble is, more and more, I can’t think of where to buy this or that locally - I HAVE to use the interwebs.
