Actually ever since agency pricing, I get taxed collected BY AMAZON for any publisher who has a base in my state (Texas). So with agency pricing, Amazon is responsible for collecting the tax. I know this because I get taxed on certain publisher's books and not others. And yes, out of spite, once I learn those publishers...if it comes down to two books...one by one publisher and the other by the other...
In the end, the Fed is going to go after Amazon and get some sort of tax. Those pols are salivating, whining and generally fit-to-be-tied that they haven't yet gotten their slimy paws on more of our money via the success of Amazon.
