Did Amazon sell out the rest of the nation?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 05, 2011 10 Comments

You may remember that Amazon.com stopped doing business through "affiliates" (websites and blogs) in California, after the state passed a law requiring companies like Amazon to collect state sales taxes on purchases made through California affiliates.

Posted by Matthew Knee on October 05, 2011 9 Comments

Several nights ago, I found myself arguing with a hyperpriviledged, self-identified anarcho-socialist (don't ask me how that works) about the MSA 11. He and his friends believed them to have been convicted by a racist Orange County jury, under unconstitutional laws. As we were discussing the...
