SCOTUS gut punches American Small Business
At a time when we have over 7 million people out of work, AND the "officially unemployed," and we need as much small business as we can get, the Supreme Court just delivered a big blow to small businesses. And a lot of larger businesses.
Millions of people in this country make their living, or part of it, by selling items online, and shipping them all over the country and the world. By letting states force sales taxes to be paid on places where a business doesn't have a physical location, it will most likely make small businesses spend a ridiculous amount of time and energy collecting the 3% from this state, the 5% from that state, and the 1/4% for this town, and the 1/2% for that town, and making sure all those tiny amounts of money get paid to all those cities, towns, and states everywhere.
Like most all business related decisions and legislation these days, this is yet another way to try and prop up large but now unsustainable corporations that should have gone out of business a long time ago. And it will be a big hit to the millions of small time sellers on Ebay, Amazon, Etsy, personal online stores, and everyone else actually building small businesses. Yeah, thanks SCOTUS.
