#3 I look for all states with sales or use taxes to do the same thing, then Amazon can only operate out of the states which don't collect such taxes. All the states are seeking to enhance their revenues.

#8 ...remember way back when Nevada had the corner on legal gambling. It just takes one state that's willing to harbor Amazon et al and then the rest will follow to get employment and business rather than that they expect rendered upon Caesar.
