This in my opinion should not be a political issue---it's strictly a matter of fairness. What do you think?

Floridians will soon be paying 6% sales tax on Amazon purchases as soon as Hillsborough County commissioners approve the deal for them to begin construction of a distribution center in Ruskin. This tax increase won't require an act of congress and will create many jobs for Florida.
