Other states that have reached deals with Amazon were happy to defer the collection of their state sales tax in return for Amazon's commitment to collect the tax at a future date - in addition to the prospect of increased jobs due to the retailer's warehouses.

Such a shame. I've been quite fond of them for a long time.

At least overstock.com is much better for unique gifts and their CEO is of the libertarian persuasion.
