Shop Talk: Letters to the Editor

Until all states are required to collect the same amount of sales tax, companies located in states such as Oregon will retain an advantage.

Our e-commerce business grew from 15 [employees] to 45 employees and our payroll quadrupled. Payroll taxes increased proportionately. Our local property taxes doubled due to improvements. So at the end of the day, any additional tax that reduces our e-commerce growth proves that the government will not collect more money, but will simply determine who they collect it from.
