Default In favor of a tax increase

Nobody, including me, wants a tax increase. However, there is one that I support. An Internet sales tax is needed in order to level the playing field for small business. All e-tailers should collect and remit sales taxes for the state where a Buyer resides. It's not fair to him/her who owns a small business in Smallville or Largeville who has to collect sales tax for the state and a large e-tailer like Amazon gets by without collecting any at all. This in my opinion should not be a political issue---it's strictly a matter of fairness. What do you think?
