Being an owner of retail stores and a Internet website, I see both sides.

As a online dealer it's great we offer low prices no taxes, as retail store we always have people come in asking to match the price on something, even if we match they scream that they still have to pay tax.

It hurts the retail store many times, this will level the playing field in several respects.

Now back to Internet sales, there are about 5,000 different tax codes for all the counties thru out the US, it is nightmare to manage all that and then mail checks to each taxing authority.

If there is a nationwide tax it should be flat rate not each county.

Sucks both ways, but the tax we feel is a better way to go.
