The competition putting plans to do that. theyre bending over backwards to offer incentives to amazon to do that. maybe amazon isnt paying what other companies are. but its unfair to say that theyre not paying sales tax. they charge taxes now where states want them to on products they sell directly. they have this marketplace of course where third parties are selling products through amazon. that is not subject to tax at this point. the postal service being used as delivery boy. the postal servi...

Has been hounding the white house now for days that we are to believe the spin coming out about the president being upset, it just doesnt square with everything we know about this president. when hes upset about something, he makes it known himself in his own voice on his twitter feed. that hasnt happened here. >> also, its not going to go away. domestic violence matters too much in this country criminally. it is a cultural scourge. as long as the media stays on its game and doesnt get distracte...
