Comment on Internet Tax Freedom Act expiration extended to November 2014 by self defense products

I own an e-commerce store and I think the whole concept of an internet sales tax is ridiculous. Brick and mortar businesses say its needed to “even the playing field”. In reality the playing field is already even, with the addition of a sales tax it tilts to the brick and mortar stores favor. The reason…shipping costs. The money that on line shoppers save in sales taxes, they end up spending on shipping. Now they have to pay both online sales tax and shipping cost. This is a clear advantage for brick and mortar stores. I’m glad most shoppers don’t know about internet taxes or refuse to pay them, however I worry that at some point the Gov. may try to force e-commerce stores to collect it for them.

Randal:
I have personally seen my posts redacted by Ed or his webmasters. We are not against consumer protection, we are against defamation and libel. Also when a site allows a person to post lies about an individual or company from behind the cloak of anonymity without accountability, that is a serious problem. I could go right now on that website and post a claim about you that was totally false and Ed would not remove it. You could rebut, but the link would stay up permanently and he may edit your rebuttal. Then he will offer you to pay fees in the thousands of dollars to have the process “mediated”. He feels he is above the process of law and arbitration where matters are rightly mediated. The Better Business Bureau is a health body where people can lodge complaints, they field the problem, mitigate it and report their findings.
There is NO RECOURSE a victim has against DEFAMATION and LIBEL.
If you are honest, and you have a TRUE complaint, then it would be no problem to post your real identity and documents supporting your transactional difficulties. Trust me. I am true victim of rip off report whose defamatory website has cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars.
