I’m not sure why Amazon gave in so easily. They should have forced the state to as WA to enforce the judgement under the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign (state in this case) Judgments Act. They would have either enforced the ruling or been given a new trial in WA. In that case it might have turned out differently.
What is amazing to me is that the profit margin earned by the firms manufacturing and retailing these products is much less then the sales tax. Think of all the engineering, manufacturing, marketing and operational costs involved in bringing goods to market, not to mention the risk of failure. What entitles the government to confiscate wealth from the producers and funnel it to their political friends – the unions with their work rules and pensions, their contractor friends, their lawyer friends? Wake up America!!!
Looks like its time to move things “off shore” I aint playin that nonsense!
