CW: Long thread/27

That 45% tax is passed on to you - whether or not you shop at Amazon. Amazon's secretive #MostFavoredNation terms mean that if a seller raises their price on Amazon, they have to raise it everywhere else, which means you're paying more at #WalMart and #Target because of *Amazon's* policies.

2)Su molti stores si risparmia rispetto al negozio fisico e quindi è logico che si compra lì #AmazonTax -
