Technically, they are not "charging" sales tax, but are collecting it
for the state you live in.
Look at the convenience though. Amazon takes the tax for you
eliminating the need for you to file a Use Tax form with your state and
pay them directly.
It is part of our double standard. When we see a wealthy person get
jailed for tax evasion we cheer tha the SOB got caught. When we buy
mail order and don't pay the sales tax, we consider it a benefit.
