Personally I would hate to see an Internet sales tax, but in this day and age when most of the 50 states and the Feds are borderline bankrupt. I would go for a small sales tax of say 5% on all Internet sales and do away with the taxes states charge on buying groceries and other basic needs. I am not sure where Jeff Bezos is getting his info but I have read the Constitution many times in college for my American History degree and I don't remember it saying anything about sales tax being illegal.
