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."
The reason that Amazon has the advantage over all the local retailers that it puts out of business, is because it plays by different rules. No, it's not right, and Amazon needs to start playing by the same rules as everyone else.

Ah if only the global population were more intellectual. Then us lowly ingrates would all happily pay whatever tax the authorities mandate necessary to solve our social problems. I love the word 'social'. It reminds me of ice-cream. So let's all be intellectual, eat ice-cream and pay taxes.
