Online shopping is too big not to tax.

What I am afraid of is both states (bought from and sold to) trying to collect taxes. That would suckify.

Already Virginia collects sales tax on what you by outside of Virginia. I don't understand how a state what was not involved in the selling can collect sales tax. The Virginia tax is more like a buying tax.

As we used to fondly say in the military BOHICA

"You may feel a slight cramping sensation."
