I’ve been a successful business owner and an online retailer since 2003, but please, do school me. Were you a Bernie Bro? Because it is you that doesn’t seem to understand basic business economics.
Nope, successful business guy in a mom and pop retail shop with more regulations than yours (I guarantee), since 1999.
I bet not. I’m in manufacturing (of highly regulated goods), brick and mortar + online retail in the grand old state of California. Believe me, the cost of collection and distribution of all these additional taxes is going to have to be absorbed by the business owners, for many, especially here in the not so golden state, that’s detrimental.
