Here in California, pretty much everything is taxed by at least three entities, state, county and local. Then there are “fees” and other gov revenue sources that are not called taxes. Yet gov at all levels still whine about not having enough money.

the teachers unions here in PA are running an absolutely hilarious radio ad trying to convince the average joe to call his State Senator and ask them to do the same here.

Everything that isn’t perishable and that I have some time to wait for delivery, I buy on Amazon. If they start having to charge sales taxes, I’ll drop them like a hot potato, period.

Is it me, or does this sound a lot like the Boeing 787 move? You can bet there will be all sorts of unions, community organizers, Democrats, and other thugs that "won't allow" these companies to move.
Why would any new company set up shop in California?

Internet companies such as Amazon and Overstock are threatening to pull out of California
Just do it! Even the threat of new taxation should be sufficient for them to pull the plug if only for a week or a month to let it sink in. Once the Internet becomes a direct revenue stream for the government, there will be no end to the micromanagement built into it. Keep the Internet free and safe.

More like, “If you tax it, they will go”.

There must be thousands of Amazon associated companies in California. If Amazon pulls the plug and moves out of California all of these little California based associated companies will lose there best source of sales and most will simply fail or move out of state.
Net result: Less taxes collected by the State of California.

California doesn’t like businesses, except for maybe a few “green” businesses, so anybody who wants to make a (shudder) profit should run, not walk, away from that place as quickly as possible.

It will be like Baja in about 15 years.
Last business to leave California turn out the lights….that is, if the enviro-weenies haven’t banned electricity by then.

Most of my stuff from Amazon gets shipped in from their warehouse in Nevada. All Amazon will have to do is get rid of their California individual sellers and the state cannot collect the tax. That’s a shame for them but they will be collateral damage to the money hungry Rats in Sacto.

The government should make it illegal for companies to just decide to pull up stakes and move.
