Taxed by the boss:
April 12 (Reuters) - Across the United States more than
2,700 companies are collecting state income taxes from hundreds
of thousands of workers - and are keeping the money with the
states' approval, says an eye-opening report published on
Thursday.
The report from Good Jobs First, a nonprofit taxpayer
watchdog organization funded by Ford, Surdna and other major
foundations, identifies 16 states that let companies divert some
or all of the state income taxes deducted from workers'
paychecks. None of the states requires notifying the workers,
whose withholdings are treated as taxes they paid.
General Electric, Goldman Sachs, Procter & Gamble, Chrysler,
Ford, General Motors and AMC Theatres enjoy deals to keep state
taxes deducted from their workers' paychecks, the report shows.
Foreign companies also enjoy such arrangements, including
Electrolux, Nissan, Toyota and a host of Canadian, Japanese and
European banks

"It***8217;s amazing how many people here don***8217;t get that this tax is owed whether or not Amazon collects it. Right now, it***8217;s the consumer***8217;s responsibility to remit the taxes directly to the state. The tax has always been owed; the problem has been that people don***8217;t pay it. Amazon IS NOT CHARGING THIS TAX. They***8217;re collecting it. Not the same thing. This doesn***8217;t create a new tax, it just creates a mechanism to collect an existing one."

I'm from Seattle so I've been paying taxes on that **** always. It's still a hell of a lot cheaper and more convenient than most other retailers.
