Come November, if you live in Massachusetts, you can thank, in part, Mayor Kim Driscoll (above), of Salem, MA, and her sleazy cronies at Massachusetts Main Street Fairness Coalition for the sales tax you will have to pay on goods you buy on Amazon.com.
From the Massachusetts Main Street Fairness Coalition’s website:
“Common sense would dictate that if a Massachusetts resident buys a product online, they would pay the same sales tax as anyone that had gone to the store in person.”
Common sense dictates that illiterate assholes tend to have their heads up their asses. In their sentence above, “resident” is a singular noun. “[T]hey” is a plural pronoun. Nominals must agree in English. This is an agreement error. In addition, the modal verb “would” is inappropriate here. What they mean is “Common sense dictates.” Also, the pronoun “that” is incorrect. It should be “who.” Beyond the grammatical problems, the sentence is a convoluted piece of shit. These illiterate slobs were successful at pressuring Governor Deval Patrick, whom I voted for, to cave to their special interests.
If I drive to Florida from Massachusetts and buy a hat, should the merchant in Florida whom I bought the hat from be required to collect Massachusetts’ sales tax on this hat? Of course not. Why should it be any different if I bought the hat from this merchant in Florida online? This argument that it is unfair is an argument made by slimy, illiterate, capitalist swine merchants and their political whores.
The sales tax is a regressive tax. Massachusetts should eliminate this tax altogether and adopt a graduated income tax. This would be a fair tax, because it would mean that people who earn more than average, like Mayor Kim Driscoll, pay more in taxes. Mayor Kim Driscoll needs to pay her fair share in taxes, instead of displacing the tax burden onto consumers. It is not fair that people who have barely any disposable income pay a disproportionate amount of their income on taxes.
