Commenting on "Online shopping tax grab delayed by Productivity Commissioner report into retailing"

If everyone boycotts Harvey Norman, Myers, David Jones or JB Hi-Fi just because these outlets charge more for employing people and leasing buildings, there will be unemployment for many sales staff, tradespeople, property management, service providers, etc. Those who have made savings on buying online will eventually pay more on taxes to foot the welfare system.
The stupid and stubborn government refuses to tax all items including those under $1000 purchased from overseas, there will be a reduction of tax revenue. So who will be paying for the shortfall?
This is a double whammy. Just be careful, it could be job on the chopping board if we allow this unfair practice to go on unchecked.
