Aside: There IS an alternative: Amazon, or whoever, could simply provide a
list of each purchaser's name, address, and amount to each state comptroller
and let the STATE struggle with trying to collect the taxes. If it's too big
a job, or financially imprudent, to do so, what makes anyone think that
putting that burden on hundreds of thousands of merchants is better?

This usually the way it is SUPPOSED to be done. In Indiana, for
instance, I am supposed to pay a use tax for things I get out of state
that aren't taxable.
