i just ordered and it arrived yesterday some items from Amazon. they had charged me a sales tax. this is ok with me, as now i will not have to be concerned about any added costs, should i get yet another letter telling me, what to pay my state in taxes due.
states are losing tons of revenue from online sales. BUT, why should THAT be our problem?
so to recoup the tax revenues, the courts allow the states to collect such taxes.
sears, where i did A LOT of shopping over the decades has closed in my area. i see stories where more are closing across the country, so be it.
as i had seen on tv news reports regarding Sears, the owner could care less, he IS a billionaire, and went on record as saying, he only has an interest in the land that Sears owned, so he could re-develop it for HIGHER monies!
so screw it, his mind was made up years and years ago. i blame Sears and the family that owned it from it's inception, to the time they sold out to another group, then to this jerkwad billionaire.
sooner or later, an even higher percentage of people will be doing online shopping. this will cause companies like, UPS, the post office, fedex, and some new companies to add more workers, to process and deliver those packages.
