Um, hello? Amazon didn’t want the tax. They were forced to command it by our screwed up state. Illegals need more freebies.
I agree totally with you. Amazon didn’t want the tax but had to collect the state tax.
Amazon has warehouses and offices here in California and thus must charge California residents a sales tax.
My problem with Amazon is they are now going to charge California sales tax to it’s members that buy from sellers in another state.
In short, if a California resident goes to a website in Nevada and ordered a Widget directly from their website they will not be charge me California tax.
If that same company sells through Amazon.com, Amazon.com WILL charge California sales tax to California residents even though the Widget comes from Nevada.
I am not anti-sales tax however I am PRO Constitution AS WRITTEN.
