Comment Re:The "tax excuse" for not adapting (Score 1) 210

Am I being pedantic if I point out that Amazon is not getting out of paying sales tax, it is getting our of being an unpaid collector of sales tax from the buyers on behalf of the state they live in? Collecting sales tax people owe is a service, and has costs (1800 odd sales tax jurisdictions in the US, if I recall correctly, since each town in a county can add their own local sales taxes). Should a state be able to force someone with no presence in the state, who uses no state service, to become an unpaid contractor for the state?
