Internet Sales Tax

If I buy something in Ohio, or California, or Arizona, I'm going to pay sales taxes in those states. Just because I'm doing it on the phone, or through the mail, or the Internet, I should not have to pay taxes in both states, particularly if I am actually in that State. And only a moron is going to cut a check to the State, for stuff they've bought elsewhere.

We should be smart. We should understand that lower earning people, actually pay a much, much higher percentage of this tax than the rich. Like the rich, we should be trying to lower brick and mortar sales taxes, rather than tack on extra taxes for ourselves, in such a regressive way.

We've got to stop dupishly going along with the media, just because they make this invalid comparison about B&M, vs Internet on the media thousands of times. Bottom-line is, they're just pushing a poor-man's tax onto us, and if we accept the idea, we're all just being dummies.
