Coalition for a Connected West We want to hear what you think. Is Amazon justified in terminating its relationship with Colorado affiliates because of Colorado's new tax law?

www.denverpost.com
The political battle over taxing online sales made through retailers such as Amazon.com intensified Tuesday, with Democrats saying the state should not back down from trying to collect money its owed and Republicans arguing the new law should be repealed.

Amazon should stick to their "guns". And the government should get out and stay out of my pocket! Trim the FAT out of the government and STOP taxing the H*** out of the people who are having trouble staying alive. You can't get blood out of a turnip! The people don't work for the government, the government works for the people!

There are lots of reasons to buy online. Convenience is not always a factor. Sometimes it's more work to order online, but sometimes its the only place to find a particular item, or it is less expensive than purchasing locally. Saying that purchasing online is only for the lazy, is a very ignorant comment.

Coalition for a Connected West FCC Commissioner McDowell on the dangers of enacting strict regulations over the Internet: ""As a matter of good government, wouldn't creating such a new and
untested regulatory regime without congressional authorization cause
more uncertainty and not less, as advertised?" he said. "And speaking
of inevitable appellate li...tigation, how many years will it take to
resolve these issues?""

They are saying to be leery of charities that claim that 100% of donations go to the victims. Because it is impossible due to fuel costs, etc.

In response, innovative educators are embracing social media to fight back against the onslaught of problems."
