The only industry making money on the internet are porn and gambling.



You’ve got to be kidding… where have you been for the past decade or so?



The majority of the retail internet sites have physical presence in most states (stores) so they have to charge sales tax. I know some do not but when each State looks into each store/internet site the tax assessments follow. Only the pure internet sites- Amazon etc do not have physical locations and they better be sure how they warehouse and ship- they also better watch how they warranty products.



Oh so your problem is that retailers don’t have to charge sales tax to out of state purchasers… well, retailers selling online are subject to the same tax laws as any other store. And if you think that Amazon doesn’t have physical locations that require them to charge sales tax in those states, you are once again showing your ignorance on this issue. Amazon charges sales tax to orders from Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, and Washington.

If you want those orders taxed, you need to change the tax code.
