boycott amazon?
http://www.baycitizen.org/budget-crisis/story/group-launch-boycott-amazon/

I don't get what message boycotting Amazon sends when there's a mechanism in the California state personal income tax form to [voluntarily] pay sales tax for purchases from out-of-state vendors. Pay lower prices, pay what sales tax you believe is owed the state. What's the problem?

I don't really care the states waste every penny they get so why give them anymore?

Go Amazon stick it to the Peoples Republic of California!

They already closed all California distribution centers. If these moron Keynsians really cared about jobs and people they wouldn't do everything in their power to destroy business. Economics fail.

I don't think CA had any distribution centers for Amazon.

Oops, I guess I typed faster than I thought. They severed ties with the 25'000 affiliates. My mistake.
I was trippin' because I know I've received items from CA I ordered off Amazon.
