Each has its own tax laws, and therefore, every internet business entity will be required to know the tax regulation of all fifty states ... Piece of cake for a computer. I thought conservatives believed in Federalism.
Perhaps the only i-net entity that could handle the enormity of the tax regulatory burden would be Amazon ...
BS. There will be web sites with aps for that in weeks, if there aren't already.
I'm not advocating higher tax rates. I am advocating honesty.

I'm not sure you're being realistic. You are over-simplifying the problem dramatically. The Board of Equalization of the State of California has over 100 publications to explain how sales and use taxes are to be determined. Of course, many of these are not going to be applicable to an internet business but someone who has reasonable knowledge in that area is going to have to make that call and the business owner is responsible if the wrong call is made.
If an internet business is responsible for collecting sales taxes, would they not be subject to audit by all these taxing authorities? Your state might be fairly reasonable but do you want the brown-shirts from the State of California pouring over the books of your internet business?
