If local mom and pop stores have to charge a sales tax, then internet stores should have to charge them too. Or else eliminate sales taxes on all stores. We need a level playing field for our retailers.
I would prefer to support our local businesses, than Amazon and E-bay. I think Jeff Bezos is a Socialist, and every time you help him, you hurt yourself and your country. Jeff Bezos's net worth is 201.7 billion USD.
Please do I live in Columbus over 50 years I have recently moved to a county over I do not shop in Columbia when I built my new house my contract I said do not buy anything in Boone County because of the taxes and because of everything about Colombia
If you staff correctly & uphold attendance policies, there shouldn't be an issue. Unwell employees means non-productive employees. If you can afford expensive vacations, then you can take care of your employees. It's that simple.
This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.
Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.
Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.
This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.
This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.
They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes
and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.
Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!
This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.
Yes, I try to purchase everything locally, but when I have to arm chair shop, it would still benefit our community if it was implemented.
