when they start collecting sales tax, or any others that start charging. Many states are trying to chance the laws to collect sales tax for out of state or net sales.
The federal law now states that On-line retailers and businesses without a physical presence in a state do not have to collect sales tax on purchases by those residents.
As the net grew in recent years from once catalog sales, that exemption came under pressure from several states looking to fill big budget gaps because they threw away the money we gave them to do a job.
The reason most buy is to save money and the competition is fierce to get our money so competition drove many prices down. Who wins, the states getting more of our money, like they don't get enough anyway. After THEY throw away what we give them, they raise our taxes and blame it on something like to save the children so some pity the state and vote yes. "STUPID Voters"
I have usually gone with the theory, the man with the best price wins. I know I know, I'll pay some more for service or if I have a great vendor that stands out.
What are your thoughts?

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.
