• Helping Wall Street And Not Main Street Will Hurt GOP

    One of the reasons I am supporting President Obama, is because Republicans continue to give major tax breaks to giant corporations like Amazon, all while insisting that smaller Internet companies collect the required sales tax. This is hurting small businesses, the backbone of the new digital economy.

     
    One of Amazon’s stated missions is to put brick and mortar business out of business — they are well on their way to accomplishing that goal — with the help of the right-wing of the Republican party. What hypocrites — they opposes personal welfare — but love corporate welfare.
     
    Either we all get the same tax break or no one gets a tax break. Picking winners and losers is not my definition of smaller, limited government.
     
    The right-wing thinks their Amazon purchases are” tax-free,” when in reality they are breaking the law by not paying the required use tax. Helping Wall Street and not Main Street will not help the GOP come November.
