Reply to "Amazon.com to began collecting Alabama Sales Tax and much more"

When commerce on the internet first begin, I was against taxing it for a couple of reason.  First, to allow companies to start up with as little problems as possible. Second, the software to add taxes was imperfect, at best, and might require a spreadsheet compiled by the seller, which would be cumbersome.  Commerce is now well ensconced on the net.  A combination of software improvement and a simplified tax law by Alabama ended my second objection.   The services we receive in state and local government must be paid for.  I prefer most services be as local, as possible, and costs be as reasonable as possible.  Central planning always costs more and tries to do too much, especially, when the planners are ignorant of local conditions.
