Stop the Harvey Norman GST tax extortion

Harvey Norman and a number of other retailers are attempting to lobby the Australian government to place a GST upon online transactions. We encourage you to boycott Harvey Norman stores in Australia and New Zealand. Taxation is not the answer and we will explain why in this blog.

Boycott retailers who are tax extorters

Consumers should boycott the following companies for attempting to raise taxes upon consumers in order to protect their profits. They offer no real benefit, so they are attempting to shore up sales by lobbying the government to raise taxes, knowing that a tax cut is unlikely.

These are the companies to boycott - Myer, David Jones, Harvey Norman, Target, House, Borders, Angus & Robertson. You can boycott these companies in New Zealand and the USA as well, if they have a presence.

The reality is that the business model of these companies is weak. They are trying to extort instead of recognising that their profit margins are about to get thin. They ought to simply acknowledge the market trend...that their stores will be closing....that we no longer need to buy from local stores....in fact paper & hardcopy books will eventually disappear.
