You just made my point. The federal government regulates interstate commerce for the reason that it keeps importing states(i.e. states that were on the coast) from levying taxes that non-importing states would eventually have to pay through the increase in price. Basically the importing state benefits while the non-importing state essentially pays the tax.

How much of the current regulation we live under by bureaucracies authorized under the Commerce Clause - the DEA, EPA, OSHA, and others can be said to be in pursuit of that objective - keeping one state from unfairly benefiting from taxes and levies at the expense of another?

I think that that was made as an example (one of possibly many) that validated the federal government's responsiblity in interstate commerce.
