How the government plans to destroy small online business!

mother f'er, why cant government just keep their noses out of shit. here ya go liberals, more of your view on government in action.

People buy locally because it's fast and convenient, so they don't lose out totally because there is always going to be people that are impatient and people that don't use computers. These same businesses always have the option of selling online, and if they don't in the year 2013, then they shouldn't be in business.

People buy online because it's cheap, and people have the choice of anywhere in the world to buy from.

Now wrap your head around the fact that other countries aren't going to report sales, and they will be the cheapest option because no added tax. Stuff would be flooding in from Canada, Mexico and China, and some businesses would just leave the US because there would be increased sales from outside the US.

PayPal will add it to the purchase, but I would still have to keep track of the tax PayPal collected for the 49 states other than my own, and send them the tax collected at the end of each quarter. Add to that the local option sales taxes and other special sales taxes that states and counties add and it will be a nightmare.

I sell to all 50 states and this scares the hell out of me.

The States get a lot of money from sales tax. That money doesn't go to the Feds. State are losing out because chain store are basically just becoming showrooms for people to look and then go home and buy it online. The States want that money back and all of them sooner or later will tax internet sales. It's not the Fed it's your State.

CIA is all over that shit. Use the two words in a google search.

I'm not against the states collecting sales taxes, I am against the states using me as an unpaid tax collector for them. Keeping track of one state is bad enough, but add 49 more to the mix and it is too much of a burdon. Online sales are taxed now, but it is up to the purchaser to get the forms and send the money to the state, not the out of state merchant.

Why should we the working man pay tax and companys online dodge it ?, shops on the high street have to pay tax on a sale. And then the next second your going to moan that your paying to much tax, its because companys dodge it, so you have to pay more.

Its a bit like Starbucks in the Uk, they have dodged tax here for years, the people are now fed up with it so the gov is telling them to pay up or get out.

You want a level playing field then moan when your govs try to do it to save you the burden.

Why does it scare you ?. Basicly you have dodged sales tax for years is what you are saying.

I have not dodged sales taxes, I just have not been forced to COLLECT what is owed by the consumers in their states. I collect Iowa sales taxes because that is where I manufacture product and have a physical presence. I sell in Iowa and I collect taxes as an unpaid tax collector in my state and send them to the state government every quarter.

If the states want to pay me my shop rate for the time I have to spend being their forced agent I could go along with it. Lets say it takes me 3hrs per quarter for each state. That would be $12,750 worth of my time, and time lost manufacturing my products. In a year it would be $51,000 of lost productivity.

I take it you have never had a small business and had to keep track of things like sales taxes, with the threat of fines and jail time for failing to comply to the letter of the law.

Why should the working man pay tax at all? the US $ is the global reserve currency, did you know that?
They can,and do, print as much as they like, it is all bullsh**t.
Google 'who owns the federal reserve' or 'us dollar reserve currency'. they create money out of thin air, backed by nothing so why is 'the working man paying taxes'?
It is all a scam but you are too thick in the head to learn about it, sorry mate.

I'm here for the gang bang...

All businesses including online, already pay taxes. So what is this about?
