<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2970638, member: 80121&quot;]Internet Neutrality is an issue as yet to be determined, as is the question of a company taxing someone for goods if they do not have a physical presence in that state.</p><p><br /></p><p>Companies have been whining that Amazon has an advantage, because they don&#039;t charge GRT or Sales Tax, that&#039;s why they&#039;re a target. Those same companies are not addressing the fact that people buy from Amazon because of their cheaper prices and free two day delivery. Shop from home, don&#039;t have to go out where those crazy drivers are.</p><p><br /></p><p>I live in a rural area, and the local hardware store, grocery store, gas station etc. pitched a fit when Walmart wanted to build a store in our area, all of them charge at least 25% or more than the nearest big town, Albuquerque. They knew that they would either have to lower their prices or go out of business. They set up a phony committee, joined by the people who live in the high end homes in the gated communities, to lobby the county to deny Walmart&#039;s application to build (we are an unincorporated town). The majority of people who live out here wanted Walmart not only for the low prices, but for the JOBS. Guess who won? Money talks, what the people need walks. A town 15 miles up the road, welcomed Walmart and they are doing well there, but the lower income people, who were hoping for a job, have no way to get there. An example of Government at its best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
