The list of Republican Senators who support forcing companies to collect state sales taxes for the purchasers’ home states in cases of Internet (and, presumably, mail-order-catalog and 800-number) sales includes quite a few who normally have conservative voting records in economic issues. I then realized that there’s a high correlation between representing states with high state and (particularly) local sales tax rates and being in favor of the bill. States with sales taxes that are 7% or higher include the likes of AL, AR, AZ, GA, ID, IN, KS, MS, MO, NE, NC, ND, OH, SC, TN and WY, and their Republican Senators support the bill, probably due to pressure from the state and county governments seeking tax income. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_States The only GOP Senators from states with sales taxes below 7% to support the bill were Susan Collins of ME (who is a bona fide RINO) and Ron Johnson of WI (who is usually one of the most economically conservative members of the GOP caucus). So the biggest surprise, in my mind, is that Ron Johnson supported this bill.
