"Given this fact, imagine that we have the Jeff Bezos tax scam shop (a.k.a. Amazon.com). They don't make you pay the tax. Naturally you will be willing to give most of your savings to Mr. Bezos, since even if you just managed to pocket 20 percent of the tax savings, you're still way ahead."
See... I have never thought "I'll buy this from Amazon because then I will not have to pay sales tax". Usually, I check my local stores, and several online retailers and buy from Amazon when they are cheaper. When I get to check out, the absence of a sales tax is a perk. I do not think about it when making my everyday purchases.
