I don't know why paying taxes that you should have been reporting on your state tax return is considered "being screwed".
Because either way you are having to give more money to corrupt politicians just so that they can keep mismanaging funds.

maybe the problem lies within the corruption, not the taxation.

Starting at 12:01 am on Sunday, Amazon will collect sales tax for all purchases going to Texas Eight more states soon to follow.....the next big one is California in September.

After tomorrow, everything on Amazon will cost 8.25% more for Texans.
This will eventually become the norm and spread to almost every other state.
Sad day for Slick dealers whether your in TX or not

Damn that fn sucks.. I'm in Austin and I'm a proud amazon prime member.

I was actually going to do a presentation for a business communications class on trying to sell the service of amazon prime and one of the pros was no sales tax.

not that I ever paid it but you are responsible for reimbursing the state for the tax even if amazon doesn't collect it. I would have looked for a better topic than that. Wink
