Greedy politicians! TN already has the highest Sales Tax in the U.S. I buy from Amazon because they usually have the best price (Not Always), good web interface and easy to use. Once they start charging Sales Tax, they will become the most expensive (for consumers in TN), and this will simply make me find another online source that does Not charge Sales Tax. In the end, my allegiance to Amazon is based in cost, when it goes up, they go away. Over the years, I have already stopped buying from several online sites when they jump on the band wagon of charging sales tax. Amazon seemes to be the next one in line to be dropped. Maybe, they will wise-up, and either discount the cost of goods to offset the Tax (for consumers in TN), but I doubt that. Isn't there an old saying, "Pigs get Fat, but Hogs get Slaudered". I wouldn't want to be in Amazon's place when this happens, TN sales will drop like a rock!
Amazon agrees to collect sales tax, more expansion coming in Tennessee
