Are you kidding me? I swear to god leave that one off the drawing board! Times are tough for everyone and one Way I save money is to purchase things online. One major place I buy from is Amazon. The reason is free shipping with Amazon Prime and because I do NOT get charged sales tax.

Most people who purchase from Amazon are free of sales tax. The pushers of this bill claim it will even the playing field with brick and mortar stores. Umm why do we have to level that field? Can anyone see a benefit to shopping online if it were not for this? Me heck no, why would I pay shipping and tax on something online when I can avoid at least the shipping and get it in town if it is available.

To me the only thing this bill will "level" is many online retailers, especially the little guys! Who is lining the pocket of the pushers? Maybe angry big box retail stores that are green with envy?

This really has me hot under the collar! Can you tell? Jeez the government taxes me to live, eat, have a home, drive, everything even when I die so for right now for god sakes leave your hands out of my pockets and toss me a freaking bone!Mainstreet fairness act my butt! Why on gods green earth would I want to give more tax revenue to my state? Arizona cant handle the money they have now!

I have linked to both The La Times and Cnet so you can read up and think about it. What are your thought?
