Amazon.com: please charge me sales tax

I love Amazon.com, but it is not fair to brick and mortar retailers that Amazon gets away with undercutting prices by avoiding sales tax.  Also, it reduces state tax revenue, forcing us to cut back services or pay more in other taxes and fees.  As a loyal Amazon customer, I ask you:  please start chargning me sales tax.

There is ongoing dispute and debate whether the online giant is required to pay sales tax, although sales tax is already collected in five states where it has stores or offices. The company argues that it is protected by a 1992 Supreme Court ruling forbidding a state from forcing a business to collect sales tax unless it has physical stores in the state. tax relief attorney

Don't worry. The federal government is Taxing Amazon.com anyway because since they have income They are taxed income tax among other taxes. class action attorney

With many state coffers cutting their budgets, they are looking ways to generate more revenues to continue their state programs. I hope that they'll be able to solve this "tax" problem in a legal manner. Financial advisor perth
