RE: Agree with the taxing or not...

I like your thinking, after all if the states are truly suffering enough and need these taxes, there are other ways of meeting those budget goals.

As usual it is a spending issue really, if TX for example suddenly got a bunch of sales tax from online sales, do you really think other taxes would suddenly drop? Probably not the greedy politicians would just find a new "economic stimulus" to spend it on.

At the end of the day, a state spends X amount, and needs to collect X amount of tax to cover that. How they get it makes no difference to me (and they MUST get it or go bankrupt). What I really care about is what they are spending on.
