Although the state evidently said its bill, for uncollected sales taxes from December 2005 to December 2009 with extra interest and penalties, was sent to Amazon in August, The Dallas Morning News reported that the matter wasn't made public until Amazon released its latest quarterly report on Friday.

So the list of U.S. States for affiliates to avoid living in for fear of termination is now...

New York
Florida
North-Carolina
Colorado
California (depending on who is elected next Governor)
and soon Texas

Do States really not grasp that their tax grab will result in companies doing less business in their state and that affiliates who earn a living from their efforts will need to move to another state/country to simply continue earning that living? It seems that they forget that any % of zero will always be zero. It's especially unfair for U.S. based affiliates who live under threat of termination when their foreign counterparts can do business in the U.S. without worry.
