And by adding tax plus shipping will destroy the internet sales. Another wonderful socialist program. The idiocy of these people is never ending. They are hellbound on destroying the country.
We have a winner! This is exactly what would happen and conversely would make goods and services bought in-state comparably cheaper, thereby raising revenue for the state and further robbing it's taxpayers of their hard earned money.
Nope, the Rat governors pushing this idea know that the day is coming soon when the only way you'll be able to get most nonperishables is over the Internet. I went out last week to find an extra window clip and car power adapter for the GPS unit my lady gave me the month before, and you just cannot find what you need unless you go online.
I expect anywhere between a third and a half of the retail outlets that we started 2008 with will be gone before the 2010 midterm elections. Online sales will be the only thing left to hit sales tax with in the near future.
I am going to hate to disappoint you guys.
In most states that collect sales tax, sales tax is also collected on shipping and handling. So your totals are calculated this way, your merchadise + shipping x your local sales tax rate = your order totals.
Retailers that physical plant in every state, such as JCPenney, Target, and Wal-Mart have to charge the sales tax on items ordered from the interent.
