So you applaud that a government is specifically targetting single entities and intends to harass them for abiding the law.
Nice.
Bullying is easy, that's nothing new. Applauding it is even lower, though.
If they (those who want that law) would want to change something, they should try to change the system that allows those loopholes. But of course, that would be work. Singling out a scapegoat is far easier - and makes for better PR...
Besides, what exactly is this going to solve? It doesn't even solve the problem of tax-avoidance, so at worst Amazon has to change absolutely nothing and still avoid paying too much tax.
