interesting AP story - online sales, local taxes

[ampguy]

Some camera stores say they are losing revenues by customers buying online out of state:

It's probably true. All else being equal many online buyers
will opt for an out-of-state seller to save the sales tax.

I do my best to never pay any tax any where. Instead of these guys asking the state to try and force a tax on internet re-sellers, a terrible idea in an economy like this, they should ask for the state to do away with the sales tax; although, I fully support texas having a sales tax as they have no state income tax. That is the fairest tax of all, you are taxed on what you spend.
