Just LEAVE THE FUCKING INTERNET ALONE, PERIOD!
It works, it's fine, and the LAST thing it needs is GOVERNMENT to get THEIR FILTHY, GREEDY FINGERS on it.
Yeah...When they put up the inspection gates over the Blatnik bridge, you come get me.
no it doesn't give an advantage to the online retailer...if anyone from their State buys from them, they have to charge them taxes, PERIOD. Just like the brick and mortar store has to collect taxes for their State.Online sales companies have advantages over brick and mortar in selection and pricing. B&M have advantages in service and time. It is up to the customer to decide which is more valuable for that particular purchase.Here's the deal...Slapping taxes to on line purchases will not increase revenue. People will simply not buy as much.
This is merely a political move to placate the Brick and Mortar retail sales lobby.
It's a money grab. That's all.
The way I see it is most people shop regularly throughout the year are impulse buyers.
As with any retailer, Amazon et al do most of their business from October through the week before Christmas. If people know they have to pay taxes on purchases, they will go to the retailer. On line sales companies will get killed. And THAT is the goal here.
Brick and Mortar retailers don't want the competition.
Anyone who favors this money grab is buying into the scam.
But it is not up to the customer to decide he can cheat the state out of sales tax that he legimiately owes by not buying from the local store. That gives an unfair advantage to the online retailer.
The brick and mortars DO NOT COLLECT taxes for other states and do not have to send other states the taxes they collect.
You are putting a burden on online sellers that is NOT present with brick and mortar stores. If a brick and mortar store sells something to a person from out of State that is shipping it to his home at the time of purchase, the brick and mortar store does NOT have to charge this person from california, the california sales tax and this brick store does not have to send these other state's taxes to them....
so you are either completely dumbstruck or you are lying for some strange reason?
Until recently, consumers could purchase items online without paying sales tax, a strategy that enabled consumers to shop at local stores but then order the same products online so they could avoid the sales tax. In order to level the playing field, there has been a push to tax the online purchases so local business owners could compete.
this part of the article is a BIG BIG BIG LIE!
IF the customers could shop locally then go home and order the stuff ...the "stuff" would be shipped and delivered to their home address which would be within the State that they live so the Sales tax would be charged to them.
that part of the article is pure BULL CRAP....NO ONE can go home and order from a local store's online store, and not be charged state sales taxes....NO ONE.
If the store, has a store within your state, whether an online store or a brick and mortar store, sales tax is charged for instate purchases.
The law is structured to make someone located in Colorado pay taxes for New Jersey's bureaucracy....It makes no fucking sense whatsoever.Shopping locally you pay for your own gubmint, not that if a city/state 1,000 miles from yours.
I dont know how the law is structured. It is likely the money will be apportioned back to the states. In which case it makes perfect sense.
And do you care to back up that preposterous claim that one state is going to return the loot to the state where the purchaser resides?....Where do you get to get your tax refund on clothing purchases because your state doesn't tax clothing?
IOW, you're completely talking out your ass.
I do know that states aren't going to erect bureaucracies to sort out who gets what tax refunds, because this particular state in question doesn't tax that particular item.The law is structured to make someone located in Colorado pay taxes for New Jersey's bureaucracy....It makes no fucking sense whatsoever.I dont know how the law is structured.

Do you know how the tax is going to be structured, who will collect it, and how it will be disbursed?

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that one.

What tax refunds are you talking about? You don't have a fucking clue.
I dont know how the law is structured. It is likely the money will be apportioned back to the states. In which case it makes perfect sense.
What? Government is NOT entitled to tax revenue.Why should small brick and mortar stores suffer because people can screw the government out of tax revenue they are entitled to?
Yeah...And I love rubbing your nose in it.
I also drive 85 mph in 65 mph zones
and have been known to *ahem* "inhale" from time to time.
SUCK IT, CHUMP!
How do you know there are taxes collected on non taxable items? Clueless.I do know that states aren't going to erect bureaucracies to sort out who gets what tax refunds, because this particular state in question doesn't tax that particular item.
It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that one.
What tax refunds are you talking about? You don't have a fucking clue.
I dont know how the law is structured. It is likely the money will be apportioned back to the states. In which case it makes perfect sense.
So, if the taxes collected on my non-taxable item are apportioned back to my state, how do I go about getting my money back?...A tax refund, maybe?
Speaking of having no fucking clue...

That's not what that sentence said. for instance I can go shopping locally at Best Buy and find a piece of equipment I like, then come home and go to Amazon.com and buy it cheaper and with no sales tax or shipping. Now you cannot beat that. Try it.
Shopping locally you pay for your own gubmint, not that if a city/state 1,000 miles from yours.They dont get hosed. They pay the same tax as everyone else. If they dont want to pay the online sales tax they can purchase locally.

Small companies who want to sell their products online are in real trouble. Some Republican governors, eager to enrich their thinning state coffers, are endorsing a tax that would be imposed on products sold online.According to the National Conference of State Legislatures Strapped, states could reap as much as $23 billion in new annual revenue.
Bigger chains are happy with the move. Scott Mason, a vice president at Lowe's Cos, who noted that Lowes has a 5 percent to 10 percent price disadvantage compared with online rivals, exclaimed, "Having one of the most recognized and widely popular Republican leaders take this position gives other politicians comfort that the online sales tax is fair and helps state budgets in crisis.

In order to level the playing field, there has been a push to tax the online purchases so local business owners could compete.
The giant Amazon.com, which initially viewed with disfavor the idea of a sales tax, has decided that they now like the idea. Why? Because Amazon plans to offer same-day delivery, which will mean it needs more local warehouses, and it will then get hit by state taxes anyway.
Small online competitors are upset. Steve DelBianco, executive director of NetChoice, a trade group representing eBay, Overstock.com and others, said, "Besides the Republican support, this position change is being driven by the millions of dollars being spent by the big-box retailersand now Amazonto push the sales tax through Congress."
States that already have an online sales tax are Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, New York, Texas and Washington. Other state that are planning to join them are California (Sept. 2012), Indiana (Jan. 2014), Nevada (Jan. 2014), New Jersey (July 2013), South Carolina (Jan. 2016),Tennessee (Jan 2014) and Virginia (Sept 2013)...

Online Purchases Soon To Be Taxed Nationwide
This is merely a political move to placate the Brick and Mortar retail sales lobby.

But it is not up to the customer to decide he can cheat the state out of sales tax that he legimiately owes by not buying from the local store. That gives an unfair advantage to the online retailer.
The law as written provides that people are obligated to pay tax on internet purchases. Do you dispute that fact?
Yes I do. That is not the law at this time. Republicans want to make it the law.
Sorry, but I'm not a tax cheat like you are, either.
Good to see you agree that this law is not needed.
Good to see you agree that the Affordable Care Act is a good law.
