Happened here in MA last year - initially it sucked, but I guess you get used to it. At least for us, if we need to buy big-ticket items, we can always drive to NH and get them tax free

This happened fairly recently in North Carolina. It is not as though no one saw this coming. In fact, this was coming and it was reported on frequently. North Carolina fought it, I believe, for a time. And news flash you are actually supposed to notify the IRS each year of your un-taxed online purchases and pay the taxes at that point. Few, if any, ever did and that is why it has now been pushed out where you pay at point of sale.
Slow your roll there tiger. It is the same. It is simply that you weren't forced to pay taxes. This isn't Amazon's fault either so you can go throw your tantrum at Amazon, but it is not their fault at all.
Exactly this. At the very least everyone should understand the purpose of sales tax. I don't love taxes at all, but knowing the purpose is just information I think people should have.
It is this kind of attitude that garners nothing but hostility against you. While your initial thread was merely started to bitch and moan that you're now required to pay taxes at point of sale while shopping at Amazon.com, you've now turned it into a **** show and you're embarrassing yourself.
Good luck with that. Most H&R tax associates are hired with no experience. They get a crash course in how to do taxes using the provided software, they have a book to refer to and having been personally involved with a former IRS Agent, I can tell you that taxes filed by H&R Block have often been riddled with errors resulting in either a more favorable refund or a fairly hefty adjustment in favor of the IRS. You're better off browsing YouTube if you seriously want to learn. I doubt you do because that isn't your motive here, clearly.
Good! Do that. Cancel your prime membership because the State is forcing you to pay state sales tax. Amazon won't be sorry to see you go, I'm sure.
Oh it didn't fly over my head. I agree that you brought false wisdom to this message board. Like I said, you're embarrassing yourself at this point. It is okay to debate taxes and all that jazz, but the way you've gone about this with your insulting and condescending attitude, is just inane. Sometimes it is best just to open up your blog and start ranting about this grinding your gears rather than starting a thread in an iPhone Accessory message board about state taxes.
It will all be okay, I promise.
I wish I had half the outrage that you have in life. I think it is tough to have some random stranger tell you that you're embarrassing yourself. Even worse, I assume it is hard to go back and read your posts realizing that they are incredibly inane and embarrassing. It happens to the best of us, and the worst of us as you have exhibited. Take your false outrage and go post over at Amazon because in spite of me telling you it isn't Amazon's fault, I'm sure they're looking forward to your little tantrum.
Dry your eyes sweetness. We'll get through this together.
