How the fark is it your business who Disney and Amazon donate to? If they got the money legally, leave them the fark alone!

In theory, I have no problem with sales tax online. *IF* it's applied fairly and evenly to ALL commercial businesses online. Problem is that they either expect a small retailer in Florida to know what all the tax practices for Bumfark, Alaska are or that ONLY Amazon has to collect sales taxes.

Personally? I say either make it a federal sales tax that's even nation wide or a state sales tax that is at the rate of the state where it is shipped from.

No kidding. What's the upside of disclosure for them or any business? One side or the other will be pissed off, so it's understandable to just keep it off the radar.

They're also needy as hell.
You didn't review, do you hate me?
Oh good you reviewed thank you. Oh by the way. How was the packaging?
