I think that criticism is unfair.
It isn't Amazon's fault that the US has such a screwed up tax system, and I don't blame it for not wanting to be an unpaid collection agency for the US government, and all the states, and all the counties, municipalities and every other organisation with different tax rates.. It is the responsibility of the buyer to pay sales tax.
