I’m OK with this as long as I don’t have to pay taxes in two states for one transaction. Also, I don’t want to pay NYC local taxes.
Why is it whenever I like a particular SC decision, it is not considered settled law and seems to get overturned? I love to see Roe get overturned but that has not happened.
Meanwhile, seems to be this may form a basis for national concealed carry. After all, if a company is now going to be required to enforce another states sales taxes, that state should also be required to follow the other states carry rules.
I guess the swing vote here, Kennedy, probably has a gig with Amazon as soon as he leaves office.
I'm NOT OK with this. In fact I'm NOT OK with sales taxes at all. I grew up in supposedly high tax NY State with ZERO sales tax. We had roads, schools, police, etc. In fact I doubt that the people who now live in the house I grew up in get a single government "service" that my family didn't get. In many cases State Governments "profit" more from the sale of an item than does the company that produced that item. This is OBSCENE.
In addition, back then (50s & 60s) NY State didn't receive any money from the Federal Government. (Nixon started this with "revenue sharing." Now these payments are called "block grants, " but they are effectively the same thing.)
(FTR, Sales Tax began in NY State on August 1, 1965. Before that NYC had a 3% Sales Tax.)

If it came to that Amazon would lose its monopoly.
