If I purchase anything from an out of state retailer, why should the state collect any taxes on that transaction? Oh yeah, I forgot ... all my money really belongs to them, doesn’t it?

Really...I guess in theory, taxes are supposed to be applied because the government is offering some service, or providing some key component of a transaction. but what are they providing in the case of an online purchase? A state address?
