I most heartily agree. If I, as a California resident, walk into a New York store and make a purchase I pay the New York sales tax. The web should be the same way. If I login to website based in another state I should pay the sales tax for that locality. If this makes businesses relocate to tax free states, so be it. Of course the politicions will never go for it. Too simple of a concept.

I heartily agree with this. They should only be permitted to accept campaign contributions from the people they represent as well.
