You really don't seem to understand who is using the roads here. UPS, USPS, FedEx, are using your precious roads, not the internet retailer. Those companies are already taxed by your state in several ways. If I visited Uncle Elmer in your state and drove on your roads but I filled my tank at home and didn't pay any fuel taxes in your state do I need to send you a check at the end of the year? If the man who robs my house flees across the border and is arrested in your state where do I send the check? Do I make out separate payments to the local, law enforcement agency that arrested, the state law agency that issued the notice of his warrant, the municipal jail that held him, the court that extradites him? Your sense of the governments entitlement to collect from everyone, everywhere for everything is frightening.

That is a asinine argument.It actually explains why the state is entitled to collect sales tax and brick and mortar presence in the state coupled with they don't recieve any services is a nonstarter. That is the silly argument I was refuting.
