    Jobs? We don't need no stinking jobs..

    I swear you can't make this stuff up... FL Governor rejects Amazon because FL residents would be required to pay sales tax on Amazon purchases.

    Usually its Amazon telling the states if you tax our sales we will move...well played Florida way to keep Amazon guessing.

    A one term Skeletor.

    Seems like Gov. Scott hasn't kept up with national news... there is a bill working it's way through Congress now that would require payment of sales taxes on internet purchases, even if the site doesnt have a physical operation in your state. Well played Gov. Scott, way to lose those jobs over something that will happen eventually anyway.

    They are building a warehouse in NJ in the near future so we will be paying taxes on purchases. Unlike FL, NJ actually wants the warehouse for jobs AND the tax revenue.
