It's not complicated.
No matter where your company is located, a business is only required to charge and collect sales taxes in/for States they physically operate in.
Amazon would not have to charge and remit sales taxes to California, if they had no California based employees.

For tax cheats, it probably “feels” unfair that they have to pay State sales taxes on some products, but not others.
Call for a pizza delivery, and guess what! Sales tax.
Order something online, guess what!
You might have to pay a sales tax, if the place you ordered it from has an employee who conducts business in your state.
Either pay the tax, or buy the product elsewhere.

What part of “No” didn’t you understand?

Apparently the lawyers and judges do. The Constitution was written in language the common man could understand.

Please allow me to diagram.

“No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.” - Article I, Section 9, Clause 5, U.S. Constitution

“No tax” sales tax IS a tax.
“shall be laid” added to the price of the item.
“on Articles” stuff bought online are articles.
“exported from any state” shipped across one’s state borders into another state.

“.” no exceptions
