This is a stomach kick for alot of small affiliate businesses in New York State. All the Democrats' talk of watching out for the little guy is alot of hooey.

To this I have to say merchants that refuse to comply to out of control Government have counted the cost, and made a decision. It would appear that marketers will have to follow suit and leave NYC, and other state and city's that follow, to there own devices. It has proven dangerous to throw up hands and pay these People there bribe money, as any people that have paid off the different moffias and gangs for there protection, have proven that growth is the only consequence. I know control is best with my typing, but lets face the facts. The blind fold would have to be on not to see any similarities. They say freedom is not free.

I must say though, my apartment building is owned by Albertans and Americans and when they bought the place, the agent told us that we were now subject to US laws. I live in British Columbia and of course, spoke my mind quite loudly, but you would be surprised by how many people just took what they claimed was fact to be fact. Excuse Me? Since when? Time to move your business offshore. Some of the banks even provide a drop e-mail and drop snail mail forwarding service. :O Direct deposit anyone? Look at all the money being spent on the election..... boy what some poor people couldn't do with even a tenth part of that! Canadians can't talk of course, look at our own mess! Good luck to Amazon!

Furthermore, if we are going to believe on some conspiracy theories floating around, this could be another step from colectivism and monetarist powers to eliminate the threat (to them) of an increasing number of people becoming financially independent, dollar-independent (think about e-gold and other gold-backed e-currencies brought to their knees by IRS), and hardly taxable.

I also moved out of New York because of their tax laws wanting to squeeze every penny out of your earnings. Just to have an LLC, even if you don't make any money with the LLC requires a yearly payment of $400 or so dollars. Not to mention state and city income tax. Thank you Amazon. I hope they win !

And those that are in positions of authority, have perfected waste and stupidity and taken it to new heights. By the way, I just bought your affiliate book and I am looking forward to learning from the master. Thanks. Rich Ros,

"I think that governments in general have perfected waste and stupidity." Understatement of the year! Carolyn Ros said it best. “I think that governments in general have perfected waste and stupidity.”

Taxing agencies having been using business owners as their collection agencies since tax laws began. If we don't gripe and complain about it they will continue to use and abuse small businesses whenever their incompetent burecratic little minds want to. If you don't believe this when was the last time you got "paid" for collecting taxes for any governmental agency? And who did the paperwork for you that was "required" under penalty if it was not submitted or submitted on time? Rich John,
