  1. Re:Tell Bush to stop spending please. on States Push for Net Sales Taxes · · Score: 1

    Well let's address a couple of issues. 1st off believe me that it is a rare case that I am defending any tax. But when it comes to sales taxes that are inacted for the people by the people, then I favor the accountability of that type of tax. 2nd.The jobs that are being created are in China.Just look at the 25bil/125bil. spending deficet with China. 3rd. the example that I use is ment to fund basic community services. the area becomes very grey because it requires an entire dissertation on what that is. 4th. I am not talking about a tax that is supporting a bussiness, it is supporting a community. The inability of the business to overcome the operational difference is the penalty it has to pay to be in bussines. 5th. I am not saying don't build a better mouse trap.With the evoulution of E commerce and the largest population on earth(China) Capitolism pursues a vicious cycle of efficency.But as we play the game, we have to under stand that just like cancer and it's host-cancer prevails. It is cancer that ultimaly losses cause there's nothing left to lunch on. and last but not least have you ever filed for bankrupcy and who are you employed by or what industry? I work in the housing industry

    Yea Right on, the old grocery store was a bad example for a real world example. the reason I used it was because the margins are well known.It was ment to show case the #s. The reality of this is that money taken from one area and not replaced is money that went to money heaven. If you are a community that bases it's or part of it's financhal foundation on this revenue stream, you will have to find a replacement. But that is not how the playing field was set up. So now with the new rules we are going to protest. The consumer may win in the short haul but we all will lose in the long run. Our country is at Gridlock of specialinterests and it comes out of your quality of life. I am self employed. I have never declared Bankfruadcy. Please advise what industry you may work for? and have you or will you file for bankfraudcy?

    I would like to replly to the author with a hearty Horse$hit. If you were to look at say a grocery chain that opperates with such low margins/ say 2-3% you can easyly see how a 4-8% sales tax advatage would put you out of bussiness. Also don't think for a minute that the local company did'nt pay the shipping cost.Open your mind and see the real world.I'm not a big tax kind of person but this evolution of E commerce has and is changing the retail enviroment. The extraction of this important base will not allow the house to stand.

    Again you are right on. Instead of so many occilating around the issues, you are looking directly at the foundation of our system and why it works and why it isn't working. "What is lacking in the current government is a fundamental recognition of their purpose." The purpose of these commentaries is to identify the Questions. The answers are easy once we get to the correct questions.

    Right on This is the core issue. When we continue to let no accoutability prevail we get what we've got. That strange feeling you have is the unaccountable hand groping in your pocket.
