Brick-and-mortar stores and their trade groups want a mandate because they all have to collect sales taxes from walk-in customers

The solution is quite the other way around - Remove the onus of tax collection from the bricks-and-mortar folks and they will be better equipped to compete.

That is an excellent idea. How do we collect the taxes for state government under your plan?

We already know that if you don’t have a business collect the tax, the people won’t pay the tax. I presume you don’t mean to shut down state government, as you probably like having a few roads, and some sort of law enforcement, and prisons to put criminals in.

Maybe you would like to replace the sales tax with an income tax. But the income tax burdens the business you work at, by making them send tax money for you to the government.

I applaud those who are philosophically opposed to the sales tax who argue to replace it with another tax.

But if you are not arguing for the elimination of the sales tax, how do you propose collecting it?
