How is it that politicians can be soooooo stupid? I can make do with everything I have. I'll fix what breaks, sew what tears, yard sale my kids clothing needs, and cook every meal. We have a house with a pool and we decided a while ago, that was our vacation, infinitum.
We played a great game today helping my son with his spelling words for school. You get it wrong you get thrown in the pool. He got to ask me any word he could come up with and if I got it wrong, he got to push me in the pool too.
The next game for my son will be an economic one. It will be how to live on no or minimal purchases.
Do you refuse to buy things from your local store because they collect the sales tax for you?
Why would having the online stores collect the tax for you make you quit buying things online?
DO you already refuse to buy anything from online stores that do business in your state (and therefore collect sales taxes)?
Same here.
Several weeks ago I bought a dozen dress shirts from Penneys. Most are still in cellophane. It will be a `stitch in time saves nine,’ and so forth after the nice “I’m from the federal government and I’m here to help you” folks get involved. If it means we have to pay shipping AND sales tax, many of us will stop placing internet orders.
Those of us who work for a living will write our congress critters, then suck it up and buy less. Internet sales will suffer, jobs will be lost, and the responsible feds will sleep soundly having damaged this successful part of our economy.
