I wouldn't worry too much, Lief.  Americans are dumb, selfish bastards, and in lieu of tax-free Internet shopping would probably continue to destroy small businesses by just waddling their large asses over to muh Wal-Mart anyway. 

On a serious note, since the web is mostly used for larger purchases (and by that I mean things that are not $4-5 disposable or food items) what could be so bad about paying a little sales tax if you are make large purchases anyway?  In NJ it's .07 cents.  You buy a $100 part for your surround sound system and it's $7 extra in taxes.  Big deal.  Small price to pay for market fairness, which you conservatives always seem to love so much.

Yeah, not wasting money by buying stuff online is evil and selfish. What arrogant, moralistic nonsense.




Yes, a typical American would look at a couple extra bucks to support small business as "waste".  Thank you for proving my point.
