I don't know what law Congress passed outlining the sales tax structure in your state?? You can check me but I believe the collection of Interstate taxes is prohibited by the constitution. However, most states have a Use Tax. The Use Tax is applicable for anything purchased online or otherwise from out of State where sales taxes were not collected from the purchaser at the time of purchase.
Florida Dept of Revenue does give a break for the time it takes to fill out the sales tax paperwork. (half of a percent or something) So even though it is a bit more work, the workers would be working as indentured servants, not as a slave of the govt.
As much as I hate to say it, anyone who owns and operates a business in their livingroom needs to be paying their way too, even if the money just goes to the state and not directly on the National Debt.. Isn't it enough that small mom and pop companies operating out of their living room have no overhead, liability, employees to pay, reemployment tax, workers comp, health insurance, nor do they have to deal with the complex myriad of governmental agencies crawling up their backside.
If you have ever run a brick and mortar type business legitimately, you know good and well why the brick and mortar stores are trying to get all businesses to pay their share. Something to keep the auditors busy and off your back if nothing else..
Your internet price will go up a little, but if you continue to buy it from the internet it will still be cheaper.
