You have no say. They are not taxing you. What are you protesting that
costs you zero? The obligation is between the state and your customer.

Amazon and others have refused to collect the tax for a long time but
have finally relented in some cases. They wanted to build a warehouse
in CT so they agreed to collect the tax but probably got a lot of
benefits in return as they build the new locations.

There was something in the paper about what date the warehouse in Md.
opened up and sales tax had to be paid online. At least a year ago.
The news article said they planned warehouses, either in every state or
iln every location such that they could deliver the next day to
(almost?) everyone.

I'm not in that much of a hurry. In fact, when I watch the tracking
it's like watching a horse race, and the longer it takes, the more fun
it is. A horse race where I always get a prize.
