Thing is, Amazon and pretty much every other online retailer supports the streamlined sales tax. It isn't about not collecting it; it is about the reporting requirements which are quite frankly nuts. It isn't really about fair share in the end. These laws are pushed by big-box retailers that just want to hurt the advertising efforts of online retailers. SB234, the worst of these bills, didn't limit it to just affiliates - almost any manner of electronic presence would qualify, including Google Ads and web hosting. Now, that said, I do want to see the tax codes revamped. You just can't do it this way because it is unconstitutional (it violated the commerce clause) and because it gains no revenue in the end (affiliates are terminated or just leave the state). This bill is supposed to close a budget gap but it will instead cost the state in lost income, payroll and property taxes from the businesses that leave. Not to mention the lawsuits that will inevitably follow to challenge it....
