Taxing internet purchases.

I hadn't thought about it at all. I was looking at the situation as it directly affects me.

I also missed your note on states that have already put it into law. Here in Utah we have a state sales tax. I was thinking on a national level. If it gets applied to the internet here it probably wouldn't change my habits at all. I already pay a sales tax on everything else; if it was applied to the internet as well I'll probably take it in stride and not think about it again.

I do seem to recall it being brought up in the past, now that you mention it, and some debate locally as to whether people would fight it or not. I don't remember much about it though.
