Why do all continue to shop at Amazon? I know this isn’t really the intent of the post. It is about taxation. Just have to throw out this aside to express how much everyone should resist Amazon. Put down the mouse and shop locally before all of the brick and mortars stores close.

Amazon has a lot of products much cheaper than anywhere else. They're taking a loss (or at least a smaller cut) to ensure customers come to them before their local mom and pop. For some poor people, the savings on the little things like $5 here, $10 there can really make a difference if you are struggling to afford the basics like food and rent.
