Amazon declares tax war on Colorado - “You can go to HELL HELL HELL!”
amazon-vs-colorado-tax-war
Ever see the movie Young Guns II?
Emilio Esteviz lights up the movie screen when the judge orders him, “DEAD DEAD DEAD”… A young roughrider cowboy responds with “Judge, you can go to HELL HELL HELL.”
This is the exact analogy which is taking place in the tax wars between Amazon.com and the State of Colorado.
Here’s a quick rundown on a report from LewRockwell.com:
Amazon.com “Fires” Everyone in Colorado
Posted by Manuel Lora on March 9, 2010 09:54 AM
In order to avoid having to pay CO sales taxes, Amazon.com is eliminating its affiliate program, effectively ending all formal connections to the state:
The law says online retailers have to start collecting state sales tax themselves or send annual notices to customers telling them to pay the tax.
The Colorado Retail Council reiterated support for the bill on Monday, stressing the new law is not a new tax.
“Every Coloradan who buys an item from an online merchant like Amazon.com already, under current law, owes the tax on that item,” Colorado Retail Council President Christopher Howes stated in a release. “Our Colorado Retail Council members collect the sales tax for the government and firmly believe that Internet retailers should too. The General Assembly set these tax laws long ago – we are just playing by the rules. It’s a matter of fairness.”
Gotta love the “fairness” part. Yep, taxes are fair! Who knew! (No offense, the so-called “‘Fair’ Tax.”)
Amazon.com, rather than deal with more government fees and taxes, basically declares tax war on Colorado.
Personally, I think this is FANTASTIC. Get the governments filthy hands out of Amazon’s cookie jar!
Because of this, AMAZON.COM can count on me to shop from them EVEN MORE!
Whether AMAZON wants to or not, Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) has been forced into playing a political game.
The online retailer sent out notices to its thousands of affiliate marketers in Colorado, informing them that it was discontinuing the commission-generating program for residents of the state.
What is Colorado thinking?!?
Amazon has no choice but to move forward with its discontinuation. If Colorado imposes these fees and taxes, other states will do so as well. Amazon’s margins will be lost, and pretty soon, they’re will be a possibility of Amazon going bankrupt because of it.
I’ve never been more proud to be a loyal customer of Amazon.com than I am now!
Amazon…. keep sending the message. All those dirty bureaucrats and tax thieves can do exactly what Emilio Esteviz says, “You can go to HELL HELL HELL!”

What is a Republocrat? Half Republican plus Half Democrat equals all bull poop…
republocrat-republican-democrat
So the word “Republocrat” has been floating around the internet more and more heavily over the past year. People are starting to come to grips that Washington DC is full of these political liars.
What exactly is a Republocrat?
Broadly defined, a “Republocrat” is any political affiliate that talks out of both sides of his/her mouth. They say one thing, but their voting record goes completely opposite. Basically, these a Republocrat is a spineless and worthless piece of bull poop!
Republocrat: A term used to identify both democrats and republicans because the two parties are essentially the same.
How is that possible you say? How can a Democrat BLUE and a Republican RED be really one and the same? Here’s a simple example: Remember when Republican John McCain ran on a “conservative ticket” yet went and voted for the $700 billion bailout? REPUBLOCRAT. Talked about conservative policies and then turns around and jacks up private banks at the expense of the American taxpayer. That is hypocrisy at its finest!
There are THOUSANDS of examples of Republocrats throughout the voters of Congress. Everyone wants some type of compromise. Rather than anything effective getting done, both sides crap down the sides of their mouths and Americans get more of the same… devalued currency, higher taxes, more bureaucracy and less opportunity to “pursue happiness” because the invalid REPUBLOCRATS steal everything they can get their slimy hands on!
Americans are waking up to the idea that there is truly only ONE political party in Washington DC. Republocrats rule the roost. Hypocrisy and lies are prevalent everywhere.
I guess that’s why so many millions of American are drawn more and more to Legendary Texas Congressman Ron Paul. Doctor Paul, as he is widely known, has a voting record that matches his principles. Americans magnate towards him because he does what he says he’s going to do come hell or high water! His voting record is proof!
REPUBLOCRATS, on the other hand, are snakes in the ground.
They slither and progress towards the warmest place where they can feast on the hard work and labors of hard working American taxpayers.
The great part about the whole system is that it’s coming to an end. Articles about liars, REPUBLOCRATS, are becoming more and more prominent. If a politician says he’s going to do something and then votes in the opposite direction, he’s being called out on the floor.
Tea Party advocates who have REPUBLOCRAT ties are being shown the exit sign. The fight for liberty and freedom is on… and true patriots do not tolerate any REPUBLOCRATS around.
