I have become a big fan over the last few years of Amazon, but today is a bad day if you are a New York resident who likes to order your tools online. As of an hour ago a new law went into effect which forces Amazon.com to collect sales tax on all items purchased by NY residents. I loved the going into one of the big box stores to get a hands on feel of the tool I wanted, then go online and get it at a great price with free shipping and no tax, but thanks to the greedy politicians here in NY we can kiss those days goodbye. This is a bitter pill to swallow considering I have been collecting gift cards from birthdays and Christmas on my Amazon account which cannot be redeemed for cash, so it burns my a$% to have to waste that money on more taxes! I realize this law may not affect many of you, but one of your states might be next on this very slippery slope. FYI. Mike |
