Politicians in RI and NC want to tax Amazon.com
   
Amazon.com says it will pull out its Affiliate Programs from Rhode Island and North Carolina rather than be taxed to death by politicians.

Good on Amazon.Com! Why is is politicians only know how to tax and choke the living life out of everything that moves or breathes?

Now the greedy fat-cat Bankster Politicians get zero percent of zero. I hope they gag on it.

Net retailer says state cannot force it to collect sales tax

PROVIDENCE – Amazon.com Inc. cut ties today with its business affiliates in Rhode Island to protest a provision in the draft state budget that would force the company to collect sales tax, Providence Business News has confirmed.

Rhode Island is now the second state where affiliates in the program, known as Amazon Associates, have been cut off over the sales tax issue. Earlier this month the Seattle-based online retailer also closed its affiliates’ accounts in North Carolina.
