Well, you’ve got to remember that one is talking only about sales taxes that *are collected* when one does a purchase “in person”. In this case, many people are escaping sales taxes that they are supposed to be paying *anyway* — regardless.
All that is happening here is making sure that the sales taxes do get collected that are supposed to be collected — and that *are collected* when one does the purchase “in person”...
This is really no big deal, other than closing up a loophole that allowed a lot of people to “get out of” their sales taxes that they were supposed to pay.
No they're not supposed to be paying it.
Sales tax we are supposed to pay!
My state contracts out-of-state workers (because it is cheaper) which sends state revenue out of state to be spent by those workers. Yet, I as a taxpayer am not allowed the same opportunity to buy cheaper by going out of state. I am sick of this double standard given to government and business but excludes the citizen/taxpayer what could be better deals for them.
It is nothing but power over the people.

Well you sound very close to the many leftists who are advocating more and higher income taxes. The last time I checked, there was nothing to keep you and others from paying MORE income tax or paying all the sales tax you wanted.
How about we keep it that way.
Every time you make an on-line purchase, you go ahead and dutifully pay the sales tax to whatever state you live in and let the rest of us who shop on-line enjoy this little tax-free benefit.
My on-line purchases amount to Thousands of $ per year and the hundreds I save on sales tax, pays for my Internet service.
Furthermore, anyone who suggests that such tax would NOT affect on-line purchases has 0 business and 0 common sense.
PS I would bet with that attitude, you were probably not at one of the hundreds of Tea Party protest?
Maybe your crap-hole state requires you to pay sales taxes for every out of state purchase you make. My state doesn't. All I have to do is add about 60 bucks to my income tax return when I file each year. It's a pittance compared to what I save in taxes by shopping online. I pay my state exactly what it demands I pay. I'm not slipping through some imagined loophole.
What they are proposing should require a Constitutional amendment. It violates clauses in Sec 9 & 10 of Art I.
But you’re OK with them just passing a law to do it, huh?
And I'm not "supposed" to be paying...*anyway*.
You apparently are ignorant of current regulations.........
