How many Americans actually do that?
1 out of 10,000?
Technically, when consumers shop online, they are supposed to pay sales tax by reporting it on their state tax returns. But as it turns out, Americans aren't always honest when it comes to paying their taxes.
Anyhow, I support online sales tax as long as it is fair for everyone.
