I'm amazed at how many people jump on the we create jobs so we shouldn't pay tax bandwagon thinking that's the way things should work.
People pay taxes and corporations pay taxes to cover the things the government supplies to the people. Taking corporations out of the equation leads to austerity and the inability to fund things like healthcare (not so much the US for long), education, rubbish collections, parks and recreation, the list goes on and on and on. Moving things online has allowed corporations to fund politicians to allow a reduction in tax laws and regulations for those companies killing off non-online companies as they can't compete. The future doesn't look good but hey that's what capitalism gets you. (not advocating socialism, there has to be an in between)
