| RE: Newegg plays chicken with New York 'Amazon Tax' It is about time someone called the bluff of NYS Attorney General Cuomo and Governor Patterson and make them defend their money grab in court. Cuomo does a lot of law by press release. Let's see if he has the bones to backup his big mouth in court. |

| We disagree on a lot, but on this issue I'm in complete agreement with you. I'm a NY resident and this isn't the first time that the state government has tried to reach their tentacles into others' pockets to get more money. They've tried to claim that a telecommuter owes NY state taxes if that telecommuter lives outside of NY, but works for a NY-based company.
This Amazon Tax is complete bunk. NewEgg affiliates are not sales representatives nor are they staff of any kind. Just because an affiliate happens to live in NY, doesn't cause the company to have a physical location point in NY. It's a money grab, pure and simple and it will hopefully get struck down swiftly in the courts.

on top of that for NYS to sue Newegg they would risk their law coming under the microscope of a federal court.
