I own both. I set up two seperate companies, one brick and mortar and to exploit my volume discounts an internet resale company also. GOod for you. It may work in your sector, with good you provide, with segment of the market you serve.
Even in this area you have no idea (unless you have done research and not sales) who has left you. Your remark is a great example of an error of many practitioners: they listen to their customers. That's easy: what is hard is to listen to those who are not your customers.
trying to use taxation to structure social policy to preserve brick and mortar shops, then you are no better than the tax and spend Pelosis and Kennedys of this world. I did not say that, you did.
Another false premise. Most of my older customers now prefer to deal with my internet company? That is among your customers. Another example of how little knowlege is more dangerous than none at all.
efficiency into the market place which is a requirement for growth in any industry. Look, you may be a suceessful businessman --- and I am happy for you if you are. BUt why don't you stick to business and do not assume that economy and your business is the same thing.
Efficiency sometimes exludes people from the market entirely. It's not your responsibility to take care of them as you are running a business, but it is a responsibility of those who are running the economy.
If you want a "fair" economy, move to Cuba or France. It's a deal: I'll do that if you finish college first.
I apologize in advance for this: BWHWHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHM No need to apologize: we are laughing together.
ce when the hell has any government EVER reduced the tax level AFTER a new tax has been intorduced???? Again, learn to read before you laugh: I did not say that the internet tax should be reduced.
You want a liberal solution to a business problem.
That's all you have told us so far: that you are a businessman. But you are discussing not business but the economy. The business class is down the hall; you are in a wrong room. Government action distorts and slows down free enterprise and innovation.
We finally agree on something: it does distort and it does slow priovate enterprize. This is because enterpreneurs like you can only produce private goods and someone has to take care of public ones.
So stick with what you do best: produce your private goods. Just understand that this is not all the universe consists of, and be a little humble: there is knowledge beyond what you see in your own store.
