Republicans blast Democrats for anti-small business Amazon tax

The Democrats’ “Amazon Tax” has put them on the defensive in Colorado’s legislature where the Republican minority is demanding that the anti-small business tax be repealed immediately. Tax and spend Democrats are trying to blame Amazon, not their tax, for dropping its Colorado affiliates because of the tax. As an Amazon customer who’s never bought anything on Amazon.com through an affiliate, I really don’t care. As a retired small business owner who was an Amazon affiliate and found the relationship worthless, I really don’t care. As a small-government conservative, I find it amazing that Colorado Democrats are so willing to offend Colorado’s small business owners and their workers. Why are the Democrats so willing to tag themselves as the anti-small business party? Are Democrats and their union supporters trying to help big businesses by driving the mom and pop shops out of business? Are they just trying to put more people on unemployment so they can pretend to help them with more expensive unemployment benefits?
