This is no small task, to attempt to collect taxes on internet sales. Imagine how much bureaucracy it will take to oversee and monitor internet sales, and ensure that the proper taxes have been paid. I imagine it would take tens of thousands of people to oversee all of the transactions on the internet. If a federal sales tax is levied on internet sales, watch for the IRS to start hiring thousands and thousands of new enforcers.

Agree it would be a nightmare to enforce. But as sure as god made little green apples, they are going to try. Wonder if there are accounting programs out there that can keep track of who is who, and what state so checks can be cut?
