The states...coming after everything they can get...states rights...yeah /s

I am a big states rights supporter. But the states already established a tax compact for this purpose....its called the Constitution. The Federal government, in this instance, is the compact's agent.

In this case, if anyone is going to tax internet sales it should be the federal government. Otherwise, it will be a whole bunch of states taxing interstate commerce. Just one of the things the union was set up to prevent.

Well I'm not. The tyranny of the state/village/small town can be far more repressive than the tyranny of a national govt.

As for the rest of what you say.. fortunately that is the case. States have no business taxing interstate commerce -it's illegal for one. So why is it that NYS for instance demands that we pay tax on what we purchase in neighboring states?

The calm voice of reason. Thank you.
