They could just make it nice and easy by confiscating all the income and property of every citizen of California, except I think people would then actually figure out what was going on and revolt against the State.

Sooner or later we are going to get hit with Internet sales taxes. Governments cares more about taxes that anything else and they are going to get that revenue back.
It would be best to have a uniform policy that online purchases are taxable only by the state from which the item is shipped. That would create a competition between states to keep rates low since online companies can move their shipping operations pretty easily.
