I live in New Hampshire which has no sales tax. Our borders are littered with retail outlets that thrive on sales to those in neighboring states that have sales taxes. Barnes and Noble has stores in these retail areas. In other words, B&N is among the retailers avoiding collecting taxes on sales made to persons in states with sales taxes.
Amazon ought to establish distribution centers and retail outlets in states with no or low sales taxes. It would expose a bit of hypocrisy and quiet the demand for internet sales taxes. Bienvenue au New Hampshire, Amazon!
