There are states that DO NOT impose sales taxes on a variety of goods. My own state, Taxachusetts doesn’t tax food and clothing (believe it or not).
Can you imagine the cost and scope of the tax laws each internet seller will have to calculate when the “selling state” imposes a sales tax, but the “receiving state” does not.
I see a disaster in the increase in the costs of doing business on the net. There are small sellers who will be driven out of business by the inflated costs.

Virtually every city in Washington has its own tax rate due to the fact that cities and counties are allowed to add local sales taxes. These may include public transit, enhanced 911, hotel/motel tax, just to name a few. I imagine other states do likewise. What a job trying to keep up with those.

Only businesses big enough to side up to gov't by hiring K-Streeters to spread the wealth around (in the Capitol) will survive.

Just more crony "capitalism".
