What else are they going to tax?  

Nor should it. It will definitely kill off small business at the very time that we need every one of them to succeed if at all possible.

There are currently 10,000 tax zones, all at different rates in the US. Collecting and filing these sales taxes would be a complete nightmare.

Not to mention that I still do understand this claim that its fairer for B&M stores.

I have no advantage over a B&M store located in the same state as I am. I collect and remit tax to State of NY just as they do.

B&M stores do not have to collect out-of-state sales tax from out-of-state shoppers. To be completely fair, they should have to check each shopper's id and make sure the state of residence gets their sales tax. Its only "fair" that they have to do this if I have to file 46 sales tax returns.

And 1m may sound like a lot, but considering that average profit margin for online retailers is single digit number ....

So what are the stakes? lol

taylor?

If Gambler or Little Phil (don't get excited London, its just a handle) were still the MODS...it would have been removed long time ago...

I am not for giving government another revenue stream so they can go and spend it on entitlements.  

I've never seen a B&M store NOT collect sales taxes on a sale.  Unless the buyer has a certificate of exemption.

It would not have made it to the GD board.  Hence, nothing to remove.

So they would have seen the post at the same time as I would have..?

On Line Store under new law

Has to collect sales tax for each state and file them all

B&M under new law

Collects  tax for one state and deals with ONE tax authority

Let them have fun collecting / filing tax for each state too

Now that we have decided what happens to the loser, what does the winner get?

an all expense lunch with  

but when there were two of us monitoring the board, expect maybe at four in the morning, it was rare for a post to be up for more than a few minutes without one of us reading it and taking whatever action needed to be done.

Truth be told, neither of us moderated many posters, part of it was a factor of lazyness, can you imagine having to read and approve every post that someone who was as big a blabbermouth as lets say London is? That would be a fulltime job in itself. lol

there are no winners in this little wager. I guess a thirty minute lunch is less painful than an entire week, but I still don't see any winners in your little scenario.

Anymore so than betting on minor league baseball teams in ChiTown!  Shit...would you have put money on my kids little league games?  

I had forgotten all about the Bulls playing last night.

I hate to put the kiss of death on the Hawks, but I put a bet on them last night, just to make sure I didn't forget, but I just looked at the lines and it looks like I screwed myself on the odds. I got the hawks at -1 1/2 +195 last night, and the line has moved to +210 on the puck line today, so I guess I my payoff would be an extra hundred bucks or so if I had waited, AND the Hawks cover of course. I guess it doesn't matter what the odds are when you lose.

I am not feeling too sorry for myself though the Braves and the Diamondbacks came through for me, enough to book a few hours with Taylor if I ever lose my mind and my standards. lol

I'd even be willing to share with him our little secrets here if anyone will take Dunn's contract and his .134 average and gazillion strikeouts.

It wouldn't surprise me to see an opening period of 2-0 or even 3-0 and have them cruise for the rest of the game after losing their last outing.

I see Atlanta comes to town in September for one of the last series of the year, which could be good if Atlanta is fighting for the division which is more likely than not. Or I could come when you play Houston next month in a series you actually should win. I've never been to your south side park and I see the Braves will be there in July followed by Detroit. That could be a very ugly week for the Chi Sox, and I could actually get a Miller lite at that park. lol

I've been looking for an excuse to come to Chi town, maybe you've just given me one.

So the good new is that the first 3,000 paid for the Atlanta games receive the Gambler/Steele bobblehead dolls that just say "you're an asshole" back and forth.

You totally are that big an asshole!  LMAO!

July is nice in Chicago if memory serves me right. It shouldn't even cost me a penny. All I have to do is put about 5 grand on the series for the Braves to win, followed by another 5 grand on the Tigers to do the same and I can have a fun week all paid for by the Chi Sox, sounds like a plan

You were exactly who I was thinking of when I mentioned London instead. I wouldn't take on the job approving every one of your post even if I was getting paid for it.

but yeah if it weren't for lazyness, yes I am that big an asshole.

Get your smarter brother to remind you that you told me this yourself.  I used to post so much in those days you said you were far too lazy to read all of them.  And by telling me, you gave me free rein to do whatever the fuck I wanted.  Of course, if I strayed to far off the reservation you'd give me a poke via PM.  But I never strayed quite as far as mikey.  Who could?

even the 7th calvary couldn't bring him back. lol

I hope you enjoy your week with Taylor.

but if I have to have lunch with Fidiot and Dungy there better be a couple of open windows nearby.
