There ya go, a national sales tax database for $50/month. IIRC some shopping cart services will take care of it for you. Most sales tax forms can be filled out online and/or annually. It's not a snap, but you're probably just looking at an extra day of paperwork.

More importantly, the states really aren't gunning for the small fry. I'm not even fully convinced it's about the revenues. It's about Walmart and Amazon duking it out over a competitive advantage.
