Hey. The beast needs to be fed and its current sources of revenue aren’t enough to pay for its ever-increasing appetite. If only Internet users paid their “fair share”, all our deficit problems would be solved . . . .
There are states that DO NOT impose sales taxes on a variety of goods. My own state, Taxachusetts doesn’t tax food and clothing (believe it or not).
Can you imagine the cost and scope of the tax laws each internet seller will have to calculate when the “selling state” imposes a sales tax, but the “receiving state” does not.
I see a disaster in the increase in the costs of doing business on the net. There are small sellers who will be driven out of business by the inflated costs.
