Maybe they will limit it to businesses with over a million dollars in out of state sales so that it won't effect smaller businesses, but either way I bet it's coming.

If it does come to that (I still have doubts) then they will effectively shut down sites such as ebay and the like (yeah, I know ebay is not the site it was where people would sell their wares. Now it's been taken over by mainly bigger businesses). Could you imagine everyone selling things on the internet having to go through all kinds of documents just to know how much sales tax to collect? I agree with a post further up in this thread that mentioned it is time to stop with this taxing everything under the sun to give these states more revenue. They should run their states better, cut spending, cut subsides, heck just stop playing politics and we all will be much better off.
