The Boone County Commission has expressed a desire for a sales tax on online purchases and the Columbia City Council will vote soon on whether to put such a tax on the ballot.

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.

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.

Local governments have had trouble getting approval for such taxes amid voters' anti-tax sentiments.

The fact there is not already one or any attempt at common sense enforcement speaks volumes in it's own right. Maybe we need another department and a 10 year study.......

We used to have government funded mental institutions that would have handled this, but Reagan handed this off to the states who didn't have the money to continue funding.

If the City passes this, the homeless will not go away. They will move into the surrounding neighborhoods. Your children will step over the homeless as they walk to school and you will hear screaming all night long..
