“Brick and mortars are actually protected by no Internet taxes.”
Good points. If tax competition keeps taxes down; then that’s the best solution. Meanwhile though, Amazon and the like are getting an unfair advantage from the taxman.
No, the brick and mortars are getting the raw deal. It is the populace that is subsidized through business/investor owned Real Estate.
They vote, but businesses/investors cannot vote on property owned, only where they live. So you get them paying for your schools, police, fire, sanitation, water, etc.
All of which are better off in private hands for the most part. If taxes were fair you’d only pay them on property where you could vote.
No taxation without representation is fundamental to the idea of America.
