A solution to the Amazon tax issue

First, recognize that this is a technology change issue, not a fairness issue. Amazon and the on line sellers do business differently than strip malls, their retail tax structure should be different.

How do we tax Amazon at the distribution level? Apply a smaller, but not insignificant last mile delivery tax. Tell them "great, you don;t need strip mall services", but you need an extra bit of "last mile transportation services". Set the tax low enough so local on line warehouses see a gain to staying in the system.

Do on line services use last mile government services.  Probably a bit.  My local UPS delivery center is pretty hard on the roads.
