These people are brain dead. If they think because the buyer will now have to pay sales tax on their purchases they might want to think again. We buy 90 percent of our wants and desires online. There is no way we are returning to overcrowded malls with foul salespeople and higher prices to buy. Retailers have lost their niche and its not going to come back. Paying sales tax on an item is a lot cheaper than buying gas for a car to get to their miserable store. So retailers, Lots of luck with that excuse.
And how many times have you been in a store and wanted something only to have the idiots tell you they don’t have it because you will have to order it online. Well baby needs some new shoes and we are out of mustard so I’m off to go shopping ON LINE.
Its called adapt or die. I am puzzled that somehow me not collect sales tax gives me an unfair advantage. A store purchase gives you the item instantly. A ecommerce item you have wait to get gratified. We also have to pay for shipping in most cases. Many people buy online from me because they can’t get their size, or color in a store, or live two hours from a mall. Some of my elderly customers have limited mobility. Finally I stock brands that the major retailers either won’t sell or quit selling. I am giving my customer a choice
Despite a corrupt Supreme Court “ruling”,
It is UNLAWFUL to lay or collect sales tax on articles / items sold over a state line.
US Constitution :
Article 1.
Section 9.
Paragraph 5.
” No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.”
There has been NO LAWFUL undertaking to amend the Constitution.
Therefore, there is NO imperative to collect this illegal tax, lest you be imprisoned for willful contempt.
Only unwitting dupes will comply.

“[…]NRF cited a wide variety of software available to automatically collect the sales tax owed, much of its available free or at low cost.”
Does anyone know where I can get this free or low cost software? I’ve read about such software costing $3,300 per year or more!
NBg multinational corporations, who hide millions in assets from taxation and take from the American taxpayer, whether it is tax breaks or services, solicited Supreme Court justices to destroy small business for them and break the law.
Money talks.
That is “BIG multinational corporations”
““[…]NRF cited a wide variety of software available to automatically collect the sales tax owed, much of its available free or at low cost.””
LOL. These representatives of big, wealthy, tax cheat corporations admitted it will be very costly for small business who will not be able to compete.
Small business pays a higher tax rate on income too.
Nrf are idiots supreme. This doesnt level anything because brick and mortar stores dont have to pay taxes to other states.
At least..not yet..if this all goes through..i will make every store chsrge taxes for my city regardless of where i shop. If they refuse ill turn their business onto theirvsyates and my states and the fbi for tax evasion.
