John, I agree that the net will change the fabric of our society. It is a truly empowering medium. On taxing net transacions - the state where a net etailer resides can tax that etailer to a fair-thee-well. So by not letting the state of the buyer tax the seller you don't let the seller avoid tax - you simply make one decision about where to do the taxing. The decision to let the etailer pay his home state - where he consumes the bulk of governmental services which he uses - also makes net retail commerce more efficient because the etailer does not have to implement a system to apply the over 1000 different sales tax rates that exist in this country. The rules that apply to an etailer now - by the way - are those that apply to a catalog seller. We live with those rules now, why not live with them in the net context?
