Reasonable really. If you're selling in a state, you should be paying sales tax in that state, presuming it has one. I suppose the interstate commerce being federal argument could be made, but I dunno how well that one would work, as I'm not a lawyer, I just play one on TV.

That is the issue at hand. Big businesses can handle this. Small ones can't. Up to this point, if I ordered something from you I was technically required to pay use tax to my state on it (equal to the sales tax mind you) but I had to do it voluntarily since nobody reported the transaction to my state. Nobody fucking pays use taxes until they get caught and few people ever get caught. States hate that shit and want it reported and paid. Sounds great until you realize that you just killed every small business that ships. Wait until this shit hits Etsy and eBay properly.

They already have laws to collect the tax.

What states want is a seller in state X sells to a buyer in state Y ... that the state Y can require the seller in state X collect sales tax.

How can a state 1/4 of the world away have any jurisdiction over a person that far away? They can't. Regardless of what SCOTUS says.

Internet sales still will only able to be collected between a seller and buyer in the same state.

For the same reason that use tax is basically completely voluntary.

LOL ...

What if the merchant, states away, have to spend $$$ to collect a tax for a state?

Where's the jurisdiction of a state to a person in another state? There is none.

Its like saying if you're in Texas that you cannot own a AR because of a law in Mass.
