Should the Market Place Fairness Act be called the Wal-Mart Fairness Act?
So I use online purchases quite a bit, feeling that the lack of sales tax pays for the shipping. If our local merchants were like we used to have in the 70's and 80's, I think I'd be all for it. Give those sales back to our local people.
Granted giving business to Amazon wasn't much morally better than going to Wal-Mart, but I hate Amazon less than I do Wal-Mart. At least I didn't have to leave my house to get stuff.
