And over half of the US states have Use Taxes as part of their body of law, where if you make a purchase from another state, you're required to pay the sales tax yourself.

Where this gets interesting is the impact on/by the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution, which gets to the heart of federalism by reserving non-delegated powers to the states and to the people, and how that intersects with the Commerce Clause, which says Congress has the ability to regulate commerce between the states, foreign nations, and Indian tribes.

Which brings up an interesting point - will there be an exemption for foreign sales?
