Some people will do anything to keep from having to pay their sales taxes.

The only tax to support the Federal government should only be a tariff, you know like how it used to be...

That also limits the size of “fed/gov”

This isn’t a federal tax. The congress is invoking the commerce clause, to allow the state governments to enforce the sales tax on their residents. It is still a state tax.

And it is a tax that is already due. This isn’t a new tax. It is an enforcement mechanism for an existing tax, because most people who buy online fail to file their taxes for those purchases. They are committing crime, sometimes a felony, but they get away with it because it is a very hard crime to police.
