The law is an ass.
Giving the states more money to spend isn’t the answer. They should be denied any sales taxes. With state, local, municipal sales taxes on everything, excepting foodstuffs, these entities are just encouraged to spend more.
With swollen property taxes Americans are overburdened with tax.
I am leaning towards state’s collecting sales taxes that are due.
In Maine, you essentially make people criminals as they are the sales tax agent for purchases that end up back in Maine.
A few other points - as the sales tax collection drops in our state, the pressure on property taxes and income taxes goes up. I think that is not a good thing.
I also think there are some equity issues. Young more affluent people are avoiding the sales taxes while the elderly are still traditional brick and mortar purchasers. So we have system where the young urban dwellers buy most things online and simply don’t pay the sales tax.
