Very true. But the issue from a local point of view is that the states are loosing the sales tax revenue to online retailers. Now for a store like Cablea’s, they will charge sales tax if there is a store located in that state. Don't know the situation for warehouses like Amazon.

The end game is that the states and cities are deep in the red, and they will tax anything. Illinois is threatening to fine people who live in state but gas up over the borders. Other cities have tried to levy a wheel tax on people who work in town, but live out of town.

I think it is law in all sates (not positive but quite sure) that if an online seller has a brick and mortar presence in that state they are required to collect sales tax for any sales made to customers in said state.

Eventually, all online sales will be taxed, we just need to push the date back as far as we can.

And how the hell is the state supposed to find out especially if you pay cash. Reminds me of when I was in canada and every canadian drives to the US border cities to gas up due to the high taxes in filling up and those scumbag border guards have to ask me what I did in the US and told them I bought eggs and milk..
