It's not really tax raising more like closing a loophole.

Kind of, kind of not:
'Currently, only firms with a physical presence in a state must charge online sales taxes' - if you sell via a shop you will by necessity have a physical prescence and thus pay all kinds of taxes, which you don't need if you're only delivering there.

That's because the tax system wasn't designed for retail 2.0
the american sales tax is a bit fucked, they should have a national sales tax like VAT to simplify things.

In terms of the high street going under:
Good thing, online retailers are more efficient and therefore consumers often get better value for money which is good for the economy.
Bad thing: They hire a lot less low skill staff and reduce the amount of impulse buying which increases unemployment and can lower the amount the retail sector on the whole takes in.

Really?
No one attacked the phrase retail 2.0? I thought that was a sure thing.
