Amazon is full of bleep. You gotta collect taxes. I have zero problem with this. For years we have lived high off the hog. This is a legitmate right of the state and they should hold their ground here.

So you have zero problem with California violating a supreme court decision from 1992? CA is in direct violation of the US Constitution.
If you love paying taxes, you go on right ahead. Meanwhile, I don't like people who advocate policies that takes money from my pocket. If I took 200 dollars from you and gave it to my friend, its called stealing. When the government takes 200 dollars and gives it its friends, that's legal?Amazon is full of bleep.

They can affiliate with another retailer that is not a tax-dodge enabler. No big loss.

This is exactly why proposals that we eliminate income tax and replace it with a sales tax are laughable.

Why? The Fair Tax, for example, applies to online sales as well and would be across the board for every state.
Fair tax? ROFLMFAO....there is no such thing. It doesn't matter which end of the spectrum you're on...every taxation scheme will be unfair to someone...or at least, will SEEM unfair to someone.
The "Fair Tax" is only "fair" for the wealthy...because it will mean they pay less than they do now.
How is it violating that decision? CA is saying that affiliates and what-not constitute a nexus. The USSC has not ruled on that, merely that a company has to fulfill this somewhat ambiguous concept of having a nexus within a state to be subject to sales tax collection rules.

Thanks amazon! I just bought a laptop from you today
Yep. Me and my 4 cousins. And they are hot.dunno if the state nets or not. south carolina apparently is cutting its nose off to spite its face, but seeing as how there's about 5 people that actually live in that backwater they certainly don't have the volume of ordering that texas does. of course, if they do close the facility we'll have neither the jobs nor the taxes. sounds like manufacturing in china.
the only way this whole catalog sales tax mess gets sorted out is with federal action.
And you owe use tax on it.
If you don't pay, you're breaking the law and a tax evader.
But if given the choice of buying your $3000 TV from Frys.com, or bestbuy.com, and paying state sales tax, or buying it from amazon.com or J&R electronics and saving $240, what are you going to do?
