> The sales tax loophole made eBay and PayPal into mega corporations as well Your logic is severely flawed, as previously pointed out. Every single webstore that existed back then would be the size of eBay, PayPal, Amazon, etc. Yet, very

Because the business is the one that created the jobs, not the employee. The employee is selling their labor to the company in exchange for money - and that exchange of money is taxed by the government. The more jobs a business can create a

100% of online webstores enjoyed the very same "benefit". I am disputing your assertion that Amazon was successful because of this. By that logic, all online webstores would be Amazon today... yet, there's only one Amazon. In

> Amazon was successful because for the first 10+ years they paid no sales tax Quite a history revision. 1. Businesses do not pay sales tax - customers do. No online webstore collected taxes until recently. That was not something speci

I think I agree with you here. However, one cannot use Reddit currently without seeing 42 smiling pictures of a murderer, with thousands of fawning comments. Many are bots, manipulating people on social media. Unfortunately, too many people

Similar to the recent Boeing whistleblower conspiracies, despite video evidence of the suicide etc. Currently we're in some sort of weird anti-business mood, so anything that's negative about a perceived mega-corp is taken literal

Suburbs. We get 84 squad cars showing up for noise complaints... Many larger cities don't have the budget to provide adequate police coverage. So you get this sort of "best effort" response. This is made worse with recent yea

Right, so you cobble together 48 different libraries, wrangle all of their configurations and stitch them all together yourself. You do this 18 times because you have 18 different apps with similar requirements but deal with different data&

That's how all frameworks work though. This is not a criticism of Spring Boot. You are criticizing the use of a framework at all. Some people hate to write the same basic things over and over. That's where a framework excels. Wr

If you want to make it a flat dollar amount, you won't find an argument from me. I happen to think a flat percentage without deductions or credits is the best compromise with the people who think everyone else isn't paying their

The way you write this makes be think you rawdog'd Hibernate and Spring Framework. Don't do that... you will hate yourself. Boot is something entirely different. You write very little code and get a ton done. The trade off is yo

Boot has an "app" (err, lib) for everything. It's fully featured, and highly opinionated. Pretty much any modern computing problem you have, Boot has you covered[1]. So while you may not have ever used a Streaming library bef

A flat percentage means exactly that - everyone pays the same percentage. Everyone derives the same value from the government, ie. the same percentage of their income.

Progressive income tax is also silly. Just because you earn more money than someone else doesn't mean you derive more benefits from the government. The idea of "Paying what you can afford" is BS everywhere it's been impl

To be fair, the pricing there is not out of line with other hosted SaaS auth services. The segmentation is also not out of line either. However, the paywall (for all of these auth services) ends up being quite steep for the couple features
