[QUOTE="scotties22, post: 306585, member: 2513"] Yes Doc...it is more taxation. But, how many of us shop online to avoid paying sales tax??? We still live in the state we live and are doing two things. We are directly taking money away from the state (and yes, they probably would just misappropriate the funds anyway) by shopping online and we are seriously hurting smaller retailers. Amazon, Ebay and what have you can go pound sand for all I care...I'm not worried about them. And by no means do I think more taxes is the answer to everything. Riff Raff just bought a lawn mower online and saved $100 off the Home Depot price...good deal. Unless you are the locally owned Toro dealer who is being put out of business not only by the "Big Box Stores" but by online shopping as well. We're all for saving a buck.....but at what cost to small business owners (of which I happen to be one). I choose, whenever possible, to shop small locally owned businesses. Even though it may cost me more I will support local and small to the bitter end. This bill, if it passes, might actually give quite a few of them a chance to get back in the game. Just my 2 pretty pennies. [/QUOTE]
