Reply #1: it would put me out of business for one [View All]

I actually think the big business interest want the internet sales tax now. After all, only they will be able to afford the $50,000 software to implement the different tax regions. There are 50 states, and in my state alone, a great many parishes with different sales taxes. With my huge four figure income, it would take my entire gross earnings for several years to pay off the sales tax software. In other words, I am to have my last way of earning a pitiful living be taken from me unless I am willing to break the law.

All sales taxes should be made illegal except on luxury items. Period. It is a regressive tax, and it is immoral. We should not be adding new sales taxes but getting rid of the old ones.

But of course we can't possibly have small independent businesses competing with the big boys for even a crumb of the pie...

They want us to die and be left with nothing.

I can't live on much less without going into bank robbery. It is not an option for me to hire a programmer. I am well below the poverty level with my huge earnings as it is.
