The flip side of course is that Amazon's avoidance of taxes in most states is injurious to local retailers who find it harder to compete, and states have suffered from the loss of tax revenue as those retailers go out of business. I spend a few thousand dollars at Amazon each year on average and love the site, but I don't support their lawsuit against my state's government (CA).
Ultimately we'll probably need a national sales tax or something similar to replace the hodgepodge of state systems regarding the Internet.
