I don't like the latest addition of online taxes, but to be completely fair and honest... i never understood why that no online tax policy was in effect to begin with. If it was to encourage online sales, it's effectively done its job

It was just a grey area that many states were late to legislate around and obviously companies took advantage while they could. I definitely don’t think it was intentional, because sales and local business taxes are big revenue for state/local governments. Evolving tech requires evolving legislation, but the US is usually very late to the party relative to the rest of the developed world. States like California and New York set the precedent early, as is often the case.
