Of course. The big corporations always support legislation that makes it difficult for smaller competitors.

I am against taxes, but I have to to note that the bill levels the playing field because small business owners were at a disadvantage compared to amazon.

I order from Amazon all the time. I even pay the 25 dollars a year so that i can have shipping and handling “free” for the year.....a great deal for me and others as long as you order a lot from them. My only concern with this sales tax thing is that you don’t screw up a good thing. Netflix has learned this the hard way. Hopefully Amazon does not have to learn a hard lesson for being stupid.
To: Perdogg
I am building a personal database of quality small business suppliers that do not collect tax, and will do business directly even before Amazon is stupid enough to pull the trigger and become a tax collector for every useless government employee in the country.
This will hurt Amazon more than they think. Be prepared.

State sales taxes on products not originating in the state were unconstitutional (reserved for the federal government): SCOTUS Brown v. Maryland. Then SCOTUS excised that clause in 1865.

Trying to get ahead of this before they get smashed. No sales tax on Internet orders wasn't going to last forever. That much revenue not being taxed is like rotten meat to flies.
And to be honest, it will eliminate some of the issues where a state starts attacking people for their online purchases.

I wonder if, once Amazon gets the bill passed, if they’ll provide a database to the states so the states can see which citizens received out-of-state goods without paying the required sales tax?
That would be even more money for the coffers.

I want the local brick and mortars to compete with Amazon on price, and I’ll pay them the local sales tax. But they won’t, so I go to Amazon. For years before Al invented Internet I shopped by phone buying photo and stereo-video equipment from out of state, most often from New York, where the sellers had actual street stores (and some still do) and yet were charging much lower prices than the local businesses, and no sales taxes, with shipping costs often enough free.
To: Perdogg
if you have to pay sales tax AND shipping and handling, in many cases it will prolly no longer be worth it to shop online...

So do a lot of Republican Congress Critters.
Bezos has been fighting them tooth and nail around the country in the various states, but has, I believe, succumbed to the inevitability of this happening, and would rather pay the tax to one entity rather than 50. (Or 57 in Obozo’s Amerika)

Assuming it’s a federal bill, the federal legislatures should bug off concerning interstate issues of state level tax revenue.

Maybe they see it as the handwriting on the wall and are just trying, at this time, to cover their backside. The Obama cartel's agenda may seem very stifling to just about any business owner. If Obama and more dems gets out (very hopefully) he may change his tune, providing it isn't too late.
