The Michigan Retailers Association is urging the state to send Amazon.com a bill for uncollected sales tax.

The trade association has been pushing for state legislation to make Internet retailers collect Michigan's 6 percent sales tax to make it a level playing field between online and brick-and-mortar retailers.

States can't require out-of-state businesses to collect their sales taxes unless they have a "nexus," or physical presence there.

Amazon has a wholly owned subsidiary, Brilliance Audio, that is located in Grand Haven. The company was acquired in 2007 and produces audio books.

Frilliant!  Don't work to lower taxes for yourself, raise them on others.  Keep it up jackasses, and you'll have everybody avoiding Michigan like the money grubbing plague to reside and do business in that it is.

Speaking for myself, I've taken note of those on the MBA Board and the businesses they are tied to because they won't be seeing my money in the future.
