This is not a new tax this is just getting people to pay what they would already pay if they bought in a local store. This would level the playing field for local business. I see many things online being sold for the same price locally but throw in sales tax and people will bypass their local retailers to save a few bucks online.
Whether your individual state sales tax is too high is up to the voters and local government in your state.

You are the one that doesn't understand. Out of state vendors are NOT required to collect your state sales taxes, YOU are (use tax). This is a ruling by the Supreme Court. YOU are the one that has been cheating the local business, not the out of state vendors, by not paying your use tax.
