I've been in business for 22 years and I don't eat my customers' sales tax payments. And if you've actually been in business for 40 years as you say, I suspect that you don't either.
If you so called “conservatives” want to support Amazon/Bezos then you go for it.
I am saying nothing different than Reagan ever said 40 years ago, and if you've really been in business for 40 years and really call yourself a "conservative," you should have known that.
As quoted by Donald Trump himself:
"Businesses don't pay taxes; it's all passed on to customers"
"Here's how President Reagan explained the corrosive influence of corporate taxes on the average American:
"Some say shift the tax burden to business and industry, but business doesn't pay taxes. Oh, don't get the wrong idea. Business is being taxed, so much so that we're being priced out of the world market. But business must pass its costs of operations--and that includes taxes--on to the customer in the price of the product. Only people pay taxes, all the taxes. Government just uses businesses in a kind of sneaky way to help collect the taxes. They're hidden in the price; we aren't aware of how much tax we actually pay."
"Reagan was right. If Americans understood just how many hidden government fees and taxes are absorbed into the price of the goods and services they buy, they would be irate."

Or maybe you think neither Trump nor Reagan are/were conservatives and both went around spreading lies.
40 years in business, you say? Yeah, right.
Not buying your line.
FReegards!
