Our 'president' is a Liar. I pay state taxes every time I purchase on Amazon.

[spanone]

He's jealous of Bezo's wealth---#1.........trump #766

Despicable.

1. So do l.....

I don't know what trump is talking about.

[lapfog_1]

2. not to mention that the post office makes money delivering for Amazon

and in many parts of the country, they have added a Sunday package delivery service just because of Amazon

[Wwcd]

3. We have a public right to know if our tax $$ are being spent on

Amazon deliveries to the White House.

Bet they use Amazon too.

[Javaman]

4. in other news:

the orange asshole is still a hyperbolic asshole.

that is all.

[Hoyt]

5. I do too, but apparently some of the third-party sellers marketed through Amazon do not.

Didn't realize that.

Also, the Prez is so stupid he probably uses "Amazon" generically to apply to all on-line sales, like some people refer to soda pop as Coke.

I do buy some musical equipment on-line and save a ton on state sales tax. But, it really is unfair to local retailers. If I find a product at a local retailer at a comparable price considering they have to carry in in inventory, I will buy it there despite the sales tax and slightly higher price. I think trying a product out locally and buying it on-line, is unfair to the local store.

My state, like many ,just enacted a law requiring all on-line retailers to collect sales tax. I support that. So, trump is a little late to game.

13. I'm a small independent seller with some listings on Amazon.

They collect sales taxes on my sales only if they are shipped intrastate, the same as if I sold it directly from my shop. Interstate sales are exempt from sales tax at least in GA.

[Hoyt]

16. And that's what trump supposedly wants to change.

The states are beating trump to the punch.

Again, I don't think trump is just talking about Amazon.

6. Bezoes has Donnie's number.

The Washington Post must be about to drop a Mega Story that will shake the Crime Family.

[GrapesOfWrath]

7. Bingo

n/t

[rurallib]

10. Amazon's only sin in Donnie's eyes is owning the Washington Post

but he can't say that so he has to make up some bullshit excuse.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Thin Skinned Spanky

jealousy of being ranked 737 vs. 1 on Forbes gets his Stupid Juices running BTW. Here is something that just makes me laugh. Mexico's Slim owns most to of the NYTimes,Donnie slams the Times every chance he can. And to think,Slim was one of Donnie's Celeb Buddies back in the day.

8. Notice he says nothing about Walmart?

After they drove smaller businesses out every place they put up a store. Bezos should sue him and stop this persecution of businesses who won't bow down to him.

[Lee-Lee]

9. Online taxes are complicated

The law says a retailer must collect sales taxes online if they have a “nexus” in that state.

In all states, for example, if you have a retail storefront or warehouse in that state then you are required to collect sales tax on any sales in that state, even if it was packed and shipped outside that state.

So if you have a warehouse in PA and retail shop on VA, if you ship from PA to VA it must be taxed. But if you ship to a state where you don’t have any physical presence you don’t have to charge that area sales tax.

Where it gets messy is what constitutes a “nexus”. Some states go so far as to say if you showed up and worked a trade show for one day in that state it counts and now you must charge sales tax. Others won’t do that.

11. His "advisors" on this are wealthy mall developers who are no smarter or well informed than he is.

Several years ago, Amazon didn't collect state or local taxes because states didn't require it. The laws were changed and Amazon now does collect those taxes wherever they exist. His scummy developer buddies and crooked real estate investors at Mar a Lago probably remember the former situation and don't even know about the latter.

Never forget that every bit of information he picks up is from Fox News and his personal acquaintances. (I don't think he's had a real friend since his mentor, Roy Cohn died.)

14. Bezo should build a hotel next to every trump hotel for half price.

And a few cheap golf courses near his. Trump isn't a pimple on Bezo's ass.

[demigoddess]

15. I buy stuff from Amazon that local stores refuse to stock and sell. And I pay sales tax

per the law. that idiot in the WH is an idiot. Amazon put money back in the Post Office when email cut their business.
