All though I personally am un effected by the decision to temporarily with hold this tax, I feel that when it does finally come to pass, it will not be an entirely bad thing, as it stands, the majority of people who use the internet for shopping and e-commerce fall in to a middle to high income bracket, and they are the only ones who can take advantage of the competitive web market, this puts people in a lower income bracket at a severe disadvantage, by introducing this tax it will be in effect, leveling the playing feild and making prices online more similar to those elsewhere, this will make it so that people of all income brackets will ultimately be paying a similar price, and no one will have an advantage.
