Not taxing internet sales hurts local businesses, but there are plenty of people who think that’s a good thing, while at the same time pissing and moaning about “new world order”, “crony capitalism”, the Jews, and other incoherent paranoid crap.

Wait a minute. Let's think about what those local sales taxes are SUPPOSED to do - pay for fire, police, roads and other infrastructure that the brick and mortar store and its customers utilize. The out-of-state internet vendor uses none of those services, and the customers don't use them to make their purchases. So why should taxes be collected on those sales by a state that is providing no services associated with that sale?

So, the packages fly to the customers’ homes by balloon, good to know.
