re: #108 lawhawk

Let’s be realistic, though. Even ignoring the fact that it’s very easy for people to avoid paying use taxes (And trying to enforce them seriously would probably cost more than what they would bring in), many people who might honestly pay will be prone to simply losing track or forgetting. I’m not sure why it’s OK to burden state citizens with keeping a record of every online purchase they make and then totaling it at the end of the year, while asking a centralized retailer to do so is unfair.
