We are already overtaxed, when will the greed of these politicians ever end?

If New york wants to push business's out of the area, they are doing a really good job of it. I've watched several companies close due to NYS's obsession of overtaxing Our local small business's like the Sheriff of Nottingham. It's sad and they cannot figure out why Business's are leaving.

 

This sales tax thing will expand beyond the affiliates with time and invade all on line business conducted in NY. Then the rest of the states will follow suite and try to initiate the same tax because of the perceived revenues resulting in a catastrophic collapse of online merchants. The federals not wanting to be left out will then slam us with a notional sales tax and the nightmare will be complete. Perhaps a well funded merchant like Amazon could afford to purchase, install and maintain software designed to keep[ track of all of the various taxes but the average merchant doing business online would simply have to close the virtual door and go back to mowing lawns for a living.

When will the various governments of our country finally get a clue and figure out why the American public struggles to make ends meet and decide to operate within their own means and stop asking for more and more? This is getting well out of hand and what the governments need to learn is that the people run the country with daily commerce and need to retain enough of their income in order to survive and maintain business. Government never has and never can, no matter how much money it collects, influence commerce and make the citizen more profitable. Government can only impede commerce.
