You don't seem to understand...if I own a business and sell a product to someone living in your state, I'm not costing your state ONE penny. You're not providing police, fire, emergency services, etc... for my business. Under your looter mentality, if I send a postcard to a friend living in your state, I should be liable for sales tax because the USPS has to drive that postcard to the address of the recipient.

You don't seem to understand that taxes are not predicated on my state providing you a service.States all have different tax structures based on the choice of the people.Florida has no state income tax but a huge sales tax so the Yankees going to Disney pay the bills.States have the right to set their taxes how they wish.Having the federal government protect certain retailers and give one vendor a completive advantage is not free enterprise or anti-Uncle Sugar.The internet vendors are asking for welfare.
