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. .

If they make it a federal law (which is what large brick-and-mortars want), it won't matter which state you are in, it'll be across the board.

Why should the government get a fraction of every transaction? And another question is : WHY should VISA/Mastercard get a 2% cut of every VISA/Mastercard transaction? For the privilege to pass bytes from one computer to the other?
