Also, why should an e-tailer in another state be required to pay for another state’s fire/police/idiot politicians when it will derive no benefit or service from said monies as they are not in that state?The "e-tailer" does not pay the tax. The purchaser who lives in the state pays the tax.
Right, but they would pay the tax on purchases originating outside the state, right?
Interstate sales have always been off-limits for taxation, haven't they?
Legislation such as this turns the e-tailer, or Amazon, into a tax-collection agency, and puts them under the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado, to one degree or another. See the problem?
