Sales tax will be the death of internet sales.

In most cases it is the only reason to buy on the internet.

Which is why big-box retailers are behind the push for this.

True, but increasingly there is another reason. Businesses. stores in particular, are not stocking as many products, or decreasing the number of some products, I suppose to cut down on inventory? Regardless. if you want products you are forced to get them online, or go without. This has happened to me on 4 or 5 different products. And we already report them on state tax returns, so what’s the problem?

Plenty of products you can only get online, and the convenience factor will outweigh the tax issue.

I still buy plenty despite having to pay tax.

Besides, if you get enough, sites like Amazon.com will even give you free shipping, making you only pay for the tax.

Yep. The main reason I buy online is that even with shipping it’s often cheaper then going out and buying local.
