Lets say you buy a book or a set of brake rotors off of Amazon instead of a local merchant. So you've sent your money out of the community (and likely the state) without paying any tax like you would have if you'd kept it local. Taxing internet commerce only makes sense in our economic system. Maybe more people will keep their purchases local now!
