StrangeSox Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Mar 16, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) Amazon tax fails to raise one cent That's just endorsing a race-to-the-bottom mentality, though. Amazon wanted to avoid having the products fairly and appropriately taxed, so they left the state for another that will let them offer lower prices by making it very easy for their customers to avoid paying the appropriate taxes (you're supposed to pay taxes on something bought online, but no one does). Rather than advocating against making businesses pay fair taxes instead of avoiding them, the author should be advocating for every state to adopt similar laws so that dishonest retailers can't avoid normal taxation.
