Why not oppose sales taxes of any kind in all states?
Allowing states to collect more taxes, as this proposal definitely would, just gives them more money to spend on enlarging their domain.
Your response suggests that there is some constraint against taxes that this particular proposal thwarts.
Here in Virginia, they just raised the sales tax, and they added other taxes, to fund transportation. And the law specifically says that if the internet tax doesn’t get enacted in a few years, the sales tax will go up more.
In other words, they will collect the money. The only question is whether they will collect MORE money from the law-abiding to make up for the tax cheats, or if they will collect the money from everybody equally.
I’d prefer that when I buy something, and my neighbor buys the same thing, that he and I pay the same tax. I prefer that he NOT be able to easily cheat on his taxes because he buys from out-of-state, while I who also buy out-of-state pay my taxes, because my signature on my tax form which says “under penalty of perjury, I swear that everything I have said is true” means something to me.
It amazes me that so many people are willing to lie under oath on an official form, simply because they know it is almost impossible to catch them.
When the law is only obeyed because you have no choice, then we are truly a lawless society.
