You said — It is bullshit coward politics to hide from the people by quietly making business do the dirty work. LOL.

Ummm... from what I’ve seen in traveling around in Oklahoma and Texas — *that* — is exactly what they do — and they do it at the cash register that I’m at, when I pay for my goods... LOL..

You might have missed that “procedure” in your state.. :-)

Does thw cashier in Oklahoma have a chart of all the sales tax rates in all the states, and municipalities in the country? Do they make a check to the state comptroller in California for 9.75% when a resident of California buys something? Why would laugh at the burden of collecting taxes for California being placed on an Oklahoma business?

There is already a mechanism to pay sales tax on internet purchases, and the burden is on the individual to pay it. If the state feels it is so important, let them try to enforce it.
