I think it's sad that the brick and mortar shops are petitioning to impose the online retailers with taxes rather than fight to lower their own taxes. It's like a shackled slave seeing a free man, and instead of yearning for his own shackles to come off so he can be free, he yearns for the free man to be shackled so it's "fair".
Ha, if it was THAT simple. You think large brick and mortars pay local tax? Ask Walmart, Cabellas etc. Before they build their shopping center, they negotiate tax abatement with local governments arguing that they will bring jobs (usually net job effect is negative, for low wage jobs they bring higher wage jobs and local merchants are gone).

They are crying wolves.
