We read:
"In a victory for the free speech and privacy rights of Amazon.com customers, a federal judge ruled today that the company would not have to turn over detailed records on nearly 50 million purchases to North Carolina tax collectors.
The state had demanded sensitive information including names and addresses of North Carolina customers — and information about exactly what they had purchased between 2003 and 2010. …
North Carolina’s legal setback comes as other states experiment with new ways to collect taxes from online retailers.”

This is simply another sign of govt. desperation. They're all broke because they wasted, gave away, and stole every cent they take from us. Every politician in this country has become a money-junkie, and like other junkies, there's "nothing" they won't say or do to get more. The weaker the people, the more they'll take.
It's very expensive to keep passengers on the "gravy train" (in all countries); and taxes (of increasing ingenuity) are the only way to keep them in the continued comfort they expect!
solution for the union loving dems, QUIT SPENDING SO MUCH!!!!
See Greece, DO NOT COPY THEM!
Yep -- too many of "We, the people", instead of seeking "Freedom's Ride", which is a noble and just cause, now only want a "Free Ride"..... That, in conjunction with out of control politicians buying votes with give-away programs, spending more than the revenue we pay to them via ever more increasing taxation and outright theft, is bringing about the downfall of this once great nation.... But, it's all "for the children", mind you!!! **sigh**
Thanks, Mr. Franklin, for this republic you helped to bestow upon us.....but we've let her be stolen from us....

The first rule of lawmaking is, "never make a law you can't enforce."
The taxman knows this well; it's the only true reason that an internet sales tax was not long ago a reality, for example.
That NC and others are now breaking the rule indicates just how desperate they've become.
I am shocked that the courts actually stood up for freedom and against the state.
I'm a huge fan of amazon.com and I'm glad they're doing this.
Don't get your sky-rockets, sparklers and pin-wheels out yet folks...
There's always the SUPREME COURT!
