I am probably alone in this thinking, but IMO this is a good thing.
You have almost every state broke, schools going to sh!t and essential services being downsized. This tax used to be collected by "brick & mortar" stores that most people bought everything. Now people make much of their purchases from all over the country. This lost tax money adds up and everybody loses in the end. We pay more for state income tax, property tax, DMV taxes, the list goes on.

I imagine in 5 or so years all online purchase will have to have state taxes applied.
