I'll shop on-line. What kills me though is that stupid argument that states are saying they 'lost' 40 million or whatever in taxes. That's just dumb. It was never their money it's not like we used to pay it them and now we don't. That's like saying I 'lost' billions of dollars because Bill Gates has it. It's his. It wasn't ever mine. Most of the time whatever I am buying I am buying because I can't get it locally (so I would not have ever paid tax for it anyway.) And if I can get it locally then odds are good the online store is charging me tax for it already.
