According
to Smart Moneyz: "Republican governors are gradually easing their longtime
opposition to sales taxes on online purchases. This will push up the price for
the wide variety of tangible goods sold on sites like Amazon. Most Americans
who read books on their Kindles, Nooks and iPads have been exempt from taxes,
but getting a piece of such sales may be irresistible to cash-strapped
governments, experts say. 'It's become too big a market to ignore,' says
Carolynn Iafrate Kranz, chief operating officer at Industry Sales Tax
Solutions."
Sales
tax on online purchases of e-books is not really a left or right-wing issue
collectively, but just another way of dinging the pleasures of reading many of
us enjoy.
