I don't agree. That taxes are used to pay for the education of their employees and the owners themselves, that taxes pay for the roads that move that goods, that taxes pay for the police force that ensures safety and for the judges that assure that contracts are fulfilled.
How are going that business to work without all that? Are really taxes "screwing" business?
- DrScump 9y agoPerhaps he meant that state and local taxes can result in consumers buying from out-of-area suppliers to dodge those taxes, like many "mail-order" operations have always been... including, until a few years ago, Amazon. This may even still be the case. In CA, anyway, Amazon and the FTB made a deal a few years ago such that Amazon generally collects CA sales tax on sales to CA addresses.
