Amazon will start collecting state sales taxes nationwide starting April 1 after those governments complained for years about losing revenue to the Internet retail giant.
The move adds Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, and New Mexico to the states where Amazon will collect state sales taxes, after other states were added earlier this year, CNBC noted. Amazon will not collect state sales taxes in Alaska, Delaware, Oregon, Montana, and New Hampshire because they don't have sales tax levies.
The National Conference of State Legislatures said its members lost $23.3 billion in revenue in 2012 due to their inability to collect sales taxes from online purchases, CNBC noted. Amazon, the biggest e-commerce business, will collect state sales taxes for all entities that have them.
[...] Money magazine wrote this week that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is calling for internet retailers like eBay, Etsy, and similar online marketplaces to be made to collect state and local sales tax. Proposals are in the works for New Mexico and Rhode Island.

Let me invite you to f*ck off to a country where there are no taxes.
I suspect that you are not wealthy enough to move to the OK countries with no taxes and any other no-tax country is a pure shithole.

Because the power of the (USian) government is inherent to the people, and I am a people, I must have the authority of taxation.
I expect half of your gross production to be mailed to me in the form of a cheque or US Postal Service money order by next Friday.
