Eh?

I was being sarcastic. People will still order off Amazon even if there's a $3 surcharge. And plenty of small busineses order off Amazon, too.

I wouldn't. Most things I order off amazon are smalls, and more impulsive.  $5-20 items.  A $3 surcharge is a 15-60% jump in price on the items I order.  More than likely, I wouldn't order much anymore, and most items aren't available in stores.

"This is going to help save those small businesses, help save our transportation network, and actually I think make New York a little more liveable," Caroll said, "And it will make people think before they click."

Carroll introduced the legislation in January, and plans to reintroduce it in the new year. He think it will have support given the need for creative solutions to New York State' massive budget shortfall.

 

The first paragraph is the lie to get you to vote for the second. This charge has absolutely nothing to do with saving small businesses. 

Just masking a way to raise taxes.

Here we go.

Where will it end?

10 cent tax every time you post.  

I remember when email started becoming popular, there was talk about taxing each email sent to fund the post office.

Our wonderful admin would never do that to us.

He would only tax the libs because they seem to like paying higher taxes.

Why would you screw people for shopping from home like they are supposed to?

Because it’s the government and they can.

But yet some want bigger government.

And even though Biden said he will raise taxes they elected him.

That's right, he said only above $400k.

I'm sure they will be in shock when they find out he lied, lol.

Yep. They’ll push how it’ll save small businesses, or it’s for the kids and schools, some horse crap like that, and people will swallow it gladly.

And it won’t save a single small business, or child, or school.

I don't think anyone likes paying taxes. 

But I'm going to pay taxes no matter who is President, and so are you. Unless you're a billionaire, of course.

Has anyone here ever struggled to make ends meet because of taxes? I know Jars of Clay said his taxes went up under Trump.

He had to pay the "stupid tax" so of course it went up.

This is very true and I hope to God I don't have to pay more in the next few years

Mine went up under Trump as well, but it wasn't by much.

Not necessarily. 

But I'll gladly pay an extra $20 a month in taxes if it goes towards helping other people.

The first quote seems to indicate your taxes going up would cause a significant financial burden, no?

[Kevin]

I don’t want to pay more taxes. Unfortunately the way the government spends money, cutting taxes and spending more isn’t sustainable. Quitting a job and then going home to max out your credit cards seems to be the philosophy of some in Washington.

I'd rather decide on my own where to spend that money if I want to help others with it.

Just because it doesn't cause a financial burden doesn't mean it's ok.
