The wife and I have not purchased from Amazon since they nuckled under to Texas on sales taxes. And since that time alot of others have too because Amazon has not made their sales estimates with Wall Street for the last two quarters.

Same here since they started collecting CA sales tax.
I use to order quite a bit from them.

This could be even worse. I have streaming media to escape cable tv. Streaming media uses my wireless router to pick up the signal. I wonder if Netflix, amazon, et al will be taxing the tv shows and movies people select on their tv or internet. Cable is a wasteland. At least streaming media has thousands to choose from. I guess I won’t be ordering tv shows if they are going to be taxed. I should call Senator Rubio to find out if streaming media will be taxed. Of course they won’t know cuz he’s too busy helping the democrats get the hispanic vote.

You’re punishing Amazon because they “(k)nuckled under to Texas on sales taxes”? You should be mad at Texas, not Amazon. Texas has a law... if you have a presence in the state, then you pay sales taxes. Amazon has a presence in Texas, so they follow the law. What would you expect them to do? Move their distribution center OUT of Texas?
