It is interstate commerce, as such sales tax should not be collected under current laws.


Current laws, maybe - I'm no lawyer, and won't pretend to know the answer.

But I asked if people actually expect that it reasonably should stay that way. I see many people indignant about the idea of collecting sales tax for internet purchases. I'm not sure if that's because of the undue burden on the collector (a solvable problem) or if they really think interstate transactions on the internet should be exempt from taxation forever.
