Those are good points of why the burden should be on the taxpayer not the business selling the item. That states can’t figure out how to enforce it isn’t the business’ problem.
When did judges have jurisdiction on taxes?
The sales tax is such a terrible regressive tax it should be done away with. We also need to get rid of all taxes, repeal the 16th amendment and start over.
The only tax I would be in favor of is some kind of value added tax on manufacturing, with a higher value added tax on products manufactured outside of the US. Then the tax would be priced in when an item is bought, simple as that, and have much less civil tax enforcement. No taxes taken out from paychecks and taxes paid when something purchased.
It also frees Americans from the tyranny that comes from what we have now in place.

Curious to know how Roberts would treat any taxation issue when he turned the Obamacare debacle back to Congress as a legislative matter?
No matter what, who doesn’t expect our dear government to tax the use of the internet sooner or later?
If we are going to tax the internet ... Each state should be required to publish a “source” and a “destination” tax rate. States get to set these rates as high or as low as they want.
Taxes collected would be based on the location of the recipient as the destination, and the headquarters location or shipping location of the seller. The two rates will be averaged and the averaged applied to the order and collected. The amount will then be split between the two states, source and destination.
“The Supreme Court decided for all of us that marriage is no longer what it was for 5,000 years of civilization”
That’s because Congress has abdicated their authority to the courts. They’ve allowed these ‘judges’ to make these absurd rulings for decades now without any consequences. What these tyrannical judges have done to the rule of law, the fabric of our constitutional republic, merits the death penalty.
South Dakota passed a law saying that any internet retailer who ships merchandise into South Dakota must collect South Dakota sales tax on that sale. The issue before the Supreme Court is whether that South Dakota law is constitutional.
