NY Times, LA Times Want Amazon To Collect More State Taxes

theodp writes "Recalling that CEO Jeff Bezos originally explored placing Amazon.com on an Indian Reservation near San Francisco to 'have access to talent without all the tax consequences,' the NY Times argues it's time to put an end to the e-tailer's 'entity isolation' tax-avoidance games. The LA Times chimes in, saying Amazon's claims that collecting sales tax constitute an undue burden are 'worth a horselaugh,' noting that Amazon boasts it has no problem keeping track of millions of unique products."

Re:Let the liberal media pay taxes for once.

[multiplexo]

How about this? Let's have the liberal media pay its fair share. I say that intellectual property should be property taxed. Shouldn't the New York Times and the LA Times be charged a property tax for every back article they have ever written?

Cool, let's charge the fuck out of Faux News too, and let's also charge the Fox Network, imagine how much money we could beat out of that evil old fuck Rupert Murdoch on taxes for all of the Fox Network IP in shows such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, etc.

While we're at it let's have a 100 percent income surtax on anyone who uses the phrase "liberal media". And anyone who uses the phrase "lieberal media" gets the 100 percent income surtax, two .45 slugs in the back of their head and we harvest their organs for sale.
