If the Democrats have their way, when AB 153 is passed and signed, 20,000 businesses will either close or move to another State. That is how Jerry and his union owned Democrats plan to solve our 12.5% unemployment (actually, if everyone unemployed who wanted a job was counted, the real figure would be closer to 25%).
"In a move designed to be a revenue booster for California, an online sales tax bill has been revived again. But many small online affiliate business owners are saying that if the bill is passed into law, they are making plans to move out of the state for good.
Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, author of AB153, said her bill “would provide ‘e-fairness,’ by assuring that out-of-state online retailers doing business in California pay sales tax, the way brick and mortar businesses pay sales tax.” Skinner said the sales tax revenue would go to supporting teachers, firefighters and police."
This is jobs vs. taxes. Democrats’ wants taxes and Republicans want jobs.
"More than 20,000 California small businesses affiliates claim they stand to lose their business relationships with out-of-state online retailers such as Amazon.com and Overstock.com, or have all of their California business sales charged a sales tax rendering them non-competitive with states that do not charge sales tax.
For this reason, Performance Marketing Association Executive Director Rebecca Madigan said her association opposes Skinner’s bill. PMA represents 25,000 California small-business affiliates who earn revenue by placing advertisements for online retailers on their Web sites. Madigan said they will be forced to move or terminate their businesses if AB153 is signed into law. “That’s 25,000 small businesses that will be lost to California’s already struggling economy,” said Madigan. The affiliate businesses include small bloggers, up to big Web sites like ebates.com."
Jobs equal more tax revenues. More taxes equal fewer jobs and less tax revenue. Too bad Democrats are economic illiterates.
