  1. Amazon should immediately move their distribution center out of Texas. Texas should love that.
  2. If you didn't collect it you don't have to pay it. Otherwise Texas is imposing a tax on Amazon income which is illegal in Texas (no state income tax) and in the US (states can not tax income on businesses located in other states.)
  S**ew the greedy B**tards!
