I know this wont be a very popular opinion but here it is.
All NEW things bought on the internet should be taxed according to the state taxes they are shipped to. There is billions of dollars of commerce moving through this country that is not getting taxed.
Its getting pretty bad out there. People are always buying online to save money this is definitely hurting local economies. Especially in the retail sectors. Then people ask where did all the jobs go. Not everyone wants to work for UPS or Fedex.
I'm also sick of people trying to say the government is wasting my money so I should not have to pay. In case you havent noticed government employees are taking huge paycuts or getting laid off. Government is basically going to start balancing their budgets on the backs of their employees. So basically these employees are paying your taxes through the loss of their jobs.
Is it really so terrible to pay 6-10% tax on luxury items to help the city or state you live in?
No disrespect to anybody on this forum this is just the way I feel about it.
