Just as almost every credit card company operates out of Delaware state because of it's unique credit laws, this will simply encourage online retailers to move into the states that have no sales tax...Won't it?

It'll raise the question of whether you are liable for sales tax based on the state of the sale, or the state of the recipient.

Either way, it's a huge headache. I don't see why the government is entitled to anymore tax. What work have they done SPECIFICALLY to enable online retail? Online retail exists because of infrastructure we have already paid for, for OTHER purposes. Sure, online retail utilizes roads, but we already paid for those roads via tax & debt....Why should we have to pay again?

Why should the government get a fraction of every transaction? Why am I not provided with a receipt for how this money is spent?

There are too many questions with no readily apparent answers.
