Bay Area Houston: Amazon.com says screw RickPerry.com
Amazon.com is closing an operations center in Irving due to an “unfavorable regulatory climate” (i.e. one that actually expects them to pay sales tax on their Texas sales).
In their hate of all things Republican, the liberal blog-o-sphere in Texas has come down on the wrong side of this issue. It is Amazon.com that eliminated thousands of Texas jobs by driving out many independent book and music sellers. And those were jobs in companies that actually paid the sales tax that our state so dearly needs. But, now that they can no longer cheat, Amazon is leaving. Good riddance!
Let's all do our part to save good jobs by shopping at local, independent retailers and paying in cash whenever possible.
