アマゾンは50年前の法を根拠に州販売税を払わなかった（取らなかった）強力な「実績」がある

Amazon, and most other e-commerce companies, didn’t collect state sales taxes when
they launched in the 1990s, using laws dating back as long as 50 years made for catalog
retailers.

That allowed them to keep prices low and gain market share as online sales were just
beginning. However, Amazon and other big e-commerce companies now routinely collect
state sales taxes.

現在は支払いをしているが、アマゾンが規制当局にも米国民にとって不快な存在ではある

なぜならこの州販売税を払わないことで、不当に値段を下げて市場のシェアを獲得した実績があるからだ
