[Nuke'm Glowing]

I guess you can not take my entire post in it's context. You were the one that made the statement that it's "unfair" to the brick and mortar stores. No one, as another poster stated, prevents the "brick and mortar" businesses from participating in the net explosion. You assume I don't do research. You are very wrong. My segment of the market was traditionally served by the old mom and pop storefronts which plodded along with a less than 10% annual growth rate in my region. Instead of having a "local" business, I now own a statewide business which enables me to increase the buying power and translate that into higher profits. If you are moronic enough to think that taxation policies will create "fairness" (your words not mine) then you obviously must live in one of the liberal fantasy lands that believe in the power of the government to encourage social change.

As a businessman I pay a large number of taxes as does anyone else who participates on the internet. The introduction of state to state sales taxes will discourage the growth of this market segment. Are you really foolish enough to believe that the raw materials were not taxed before they were molded into a final product? Are you really foolish enough to believe I do not pay a substantial income, property and payroll tax for my business? It's the alleged "conservatives" who encourage higher taxation that proves that the so-called Republican party still does not have a true soul in every aspect. Anyone who is in favor of this tax is not a businessman and does not understand how our "economy" works on a larger scale. The more taxation you introduce on business, the higher our prices go. I will not pay for this sales tax, the customers will. And if you think taxation is such a great thing, then explain why the "brick and mortar" businesses are fleeing this country in droves? The Bermuda basing of corporations is to prevent these companies from beign raped any further by the federal government. Until you own a business or create one for that matter, your opinion on taxation is somewhat worthless.

that taxation policies will create "fairness" (your words not mine) As I said, it is hard to conduct a discussion with someone who does not bother or cannot read and yet decides to paint issues with a broad brush.

You can have the last word if you wish.

Best of luck in your business.
