It is no accident that one of the most popular apps on smartphones is the AMAZON app that lets you lookup Amazon pricing inside a B&M store.
People are only willing to pay so much for instant gratification.
As for local taxes, it isn't up to Amazon to collect them.
Legally speaking it is up to us, as citizens, to tally up our online purchases and pay the corresponding use tax with the annual income tax forms.
(At least how OHIO does it.)
And some of us do pay.
If citizens choose to withhold their use tax payments that is between them and their state government.
