Bay Staters Buying More On-line
Does this come as a surprise to anyone?
Funny, no mention of the fact that the greedy asshats on Beacon Hill haven't been successful yet in making the state sales tax applicable to on-line purchases. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the popularity of on-line shopping, though. Right?
Meanwhile, statist pricks like Attorney General Tom Reilly continue to work tirelessly to (selectively) enforce (some of) the laws of the Commonwealth.
All those out-of-state web-based retailers send their thanks, Tom.
So, my follow-up question is, how long will it be until Reilly figures out a way to outlaw on-line shopping in Massachusetts?
I'm guessing that royal proclamation will come out some time before he figures out a way to dictate to the commoners which brands of underwear they will be permitted to wear in the future, but after he establishes a limit as to the number of squares of toilet paper Massachusetts residents will legally be allowed to wipe their ass with.
It would all be FOR THE CHILDRENTM, of course, given the amount of tax money the teachers' unions, I mean, the sweet, innocent schoolchildren are missing out on in the deal.
According to American Online's fourth annual Online Shopping Cities survey, Boston has been dubbed one of the nation's top online shopping cities.
According to the survey, Boston shoppers will spend over $610 on shopping this year - half of which will be spent online. Over 80 percent of Boston plans to do their shopping on the information superhighway because it is easier to compare prices and find the best bargains. Virtual shoppers also have access to stores 24 hours a day, according to Boston shoppers in the survey.
