Alliance for Main Street Fairness

Tax nexus kool-aid drinkers.

Wanted to know if I'd be interested in supporting them.

They called the wrong person, FUCK NO I don't want to support you.

Their solution is to basically drag everyone down with them. If they get their way, we'll end up with a FEDERAL sales tax. We need LESS taxes, not MORE.

States that collect Use tax on out of state purchases are Communist bastards anyway (cough, California, cough).

Here is a little piece of their spiel:

Today, there is one system for small businesses and another for online-only retailers. The system is one that is antiquated and needs to modernized for 21st Century commerce as brick-and-mortar businesses are at a significant, competitive disadvantage as they are collecting the tax as required by law, while retailers operating on the Internet are exploiting a loophole that allows them to forgo collecting the sales tax at the point of purchase despite the fact that it is still due.

The truth is: a sale is a sale is a sale. Whether it takes place online or at a local business, a sale is made, a transaction has occurred and the sales tax is owed. The same rules should apply online that apply on Main Street. It is a question of fairness and evenhandedness. It is also important to note that small businesses – the nation’s top job creators – employ our family members and are vital components of our communities. If they are unable to compete on a level playing field, additional job loss will occur further hurting our local and national economies.


Also, online-only retailers are leaving individuals who purchase items on their Web sites exposed as these purchasers are carrying an unmet tax liability. Due to the fact that these online retailers do not collect the tax at the point of sale and do not inform purchasers it is their responsibility to record the amount of sales tax due and pay it, their customers are carrying an unmet tax liability.

In my opinion, if your brick and mortar is going out of business because of an online-only company that's 1,000 miles away, you're doing something wrong.


Evolve or get paved the fuck over.

This is bigger and more insidious than most people realize. Walmart and Target are behind this bullshit...
