Shoppers are NOT going to pay taxes PLUS SHIPPING & HANDLING charges!!
You said — This is going to put a lot of online sellers out of business.

Which the “brick and mortar” stores will be happy to hear about... LOL...

Ummm..., normally one would think so. BUT, considering that on auction websites, many people bid higher than full retail on some products, one may want to question the sanity of a lot of buyers... :-)
But, aside from that, what will happen, I suspect, is that the wholesalers will give online stores a bit more of a break, in order to be a few dollars less than the brick-and-mortar version of the product.
AND THEN..., you also have the convenience of not having to *drive* to the store, wait in line to pay and drive back home again. You can purchase online without so much as two-synapses in your brain having to activate... LOL..

Well they can go back to the brick/mortar locations, stand in line, use gas to drive around, fight the traffic/parking, etc. I really don’t think people are that dedicated to being inconvienced.
I would.
Online shopping is convenient enough NOT to have to wait in Wal-Mart for 20 minutes just to check out or fight the crowds in the mall etc.
Unless you have a huge amount, the taxes aren’t that big a deal. What, a dollar?
Oh that’s gonna kill it for me.
You would spend five times the tax just DRIVING to the store.
That said, I do hope the bill fails. Even though many sites already charge tax anyway. Amazon does for many states.
