It sounds like an interesting idea. Unfortunately, I think the corruption is too embedded at this point. I PERSONALLY know many folks who have already fled to TX, NV, AZ and a few to ID!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Liberals never learn. The Cali gov&#039;t will keep creating and increasing taxes until every productive person and business has fled the state. There will be no one left but the politicians, because the mooches, bums and welfare queens will also flee to greener pastures once the social programs dry up. Then the state gov&#039;t will sit there and complain about corporate greed or a lack of compassion or whatever the current whine-line happens to be at that time.

Any thinking person should be able to look at Cali and realize that it&#039;s the world&#039;s greatest example of how NOT to run an economy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are around 1000 magazines published in the U.S. Amazon is just one of several online retailers that sells magazine subscriptions.  The retailer or the magazine itself will have to constantly track the hundreds or thousands of separate sales taxes they must bill for subscriptions. This would no doubt drive some marginal publications out of business, but if they were excused from paying sales tax, so too should Amazon and the others.

The LA Times, which has been vocal in its support for the taxes should set an example by charging sales tax to its out of state subscribers.

Then there are the big New York camera stores like B&#038;H where you can spend $15,000 on a lens. So far the advocates of the Amazon tax have been silent on the camera stores, perhaps because digital and video are part of the media and overlap into film/tv production.

I don&#039;t know how they would deal with Walmart which has strategically located its stores in sales tax-free Oregon across the state line from cities like Boise and Vancouver, and pretty much anywhere where a bridge across the Columbia links the states of Oregon and Washington. I guess Washington border guards could rummage through every car or truck that enters their state along with setting up customs departments in Washington airports.

As they say, the devil&#039;s in the details.]]></description>
