I know most people hate this ruling. I understand why, paying taxes is hated by everyone.
But the e-commerce industry, with uber online merchandiser Amazon as the poster child, should collect taxes on goods sold.
Let's face it, Amazon's success has basically destroyed the brick and mortar business, named former retail giants Sears, Wal-Mart, Macy's, etc.
By extension, these companies have lost piles of sales in those stores that were located in larger cities.
These retailers not only generated large amounts of sales tax daily but were often the largest contributors of real estate taxes as well.
Store closings of these department stores have simply wrecked havoc to the tax base of these cities and towns.
