I'm surprised that the US can't come up with a system of handling sales tax at source. If the EU can do it in a community of 25 nations, each of which has its own completely separate legal system, tax system, language, etc, one wouldn't have thought it would be beyond the limits of human ingenuity to come up with a way of uniformly collecting sales taxes within a single country, would you?

The U.S. sales taxes are a state and local tax. So there are 50 different tax systems, plus some counties that add a penny or two to the state tax. And each state may have their various exemptions and exceptions.
