bri, it's just more of the talking out both sides of their mouth leftists.It's funny that you believe consumers want the government to tax internet sales. I've never met anyone that does.Think about it...how often do you hear a Republican tell you how pissed off he/she is about the neighbor having more than they have?
Why are some folks so fascinated by the material and monetary possessions of others?
Aren’t Lefties always badmouthing Republicans for their “love of money” and don’t they always say “it’s always about money for Republicans”?.....Hmmm
Why would a political Party pit people against one another over money?
Is this how the DNC keeps it a Poor vs. Rich sort of thing?
Yes it is. And they are not necessarily wrong. Money = Power in a capitalist society and you do have to "fight the power". All them songs played on the classic rock channels are not wrong.
Okay...I’m in, sounds cool, I like Rage Against The Machine.
So tell me, how does Jeff Bezo’s wealth and “power” affect me?
Jeff Bezo's wealth and power so greatly influence our elected officials they throw money at him in two ways. First, they have been SLOW to stop the welfare for the internet by not taxing all internet sales unfairly burdening brick and mortar businesses with a ~8% competitive disadvantage. Second, our local politicians have you and me pay taxes to subsidize his business by giving tax breaks to these local Amazon mega warehouses. The field is not even and the Trump's can tell you what's wrong with the tax system.
As for tax breaks on those Amazon mega warehouses, you can blame corrupt politicians for that.
