Every independent bookstore in the country pays taxes. Not Amazon. Why should they be given this competitive advantage? California is calling them to task on it, and so what do they do? Drop all of their local affiliates. AP has the story on Huffington Post. Every state should get behind California on this issue.
When is the last time you had a cup of coffee and talked about books with a friend at your local Amazon store? When is the last time Amazon sponsored a local kids sports team? Baked a cake for a fundraiser? Payed taxes that supported your local schools? Built sidewalks in your town? Created a job in your town? That's right. Never. But your local bookstores do. Fight Back. Support your local Indie bookstore. They build community. Amazon works to destroy it.
