Seems like I read, the 8% is divided; Fed. 4% and State 4% (general Fund) or

State 4% (general Fund) & Municipal 4%.

Not positive, on allocation to whom, but it is a split of 8%, just not sure of the "Who" is getting each's 4% Cream... I'm sure there are some government officials Foaming at the Mouth for all that new tax money coming their way, thats already spent...from Amazon.com sales

Good by Innovative Sales Approach via Internet..Politicians & Lobbyist have just won the battle... Walmart.com & Best Buy, already charging sales taxes based on your shipping zip code & their brick & mortars. As democrats say, Everybody has got to "Pay Their Fair Share in Taxes" for all those Government Services provided to you, including you individuals, who buy on Amazon...It ain't the Rich this time...Its us consumer little guys paying more taxes. The gravy train of purchases with no taxes, is Over..
