Let me know how that works out after you have driven every local retailer out of business and you “:conservatives” can’t figure out why your town is dying and your property taxes have skyrocketed to offset the loss of revenue from the local retailers.
ALL HAIL AMAZON/BEZOS..
Property taxes go up constantly already. A new revenue stream doesn’t offset anything, gov spending just expands to fill it. They always, always find new things to spend your money.
You seem to keep coming back to Amazon, but in case you haven’t been paying attention, Amazon/Bezos is pushing hard for this. They already collect sales tax, and they want all of their competitors to have to do it to. All this will do is strengthen Amazon’s position in the market as it drives smaller stores out of business. Online sales tax won’t affect Amazon negatively at all.
I’d do that, but frankly, I’m not that worried about it. They’ll get theirs, one way or another. I’m more worried about restraining them.
