I hope there's not as many as you think. I don't like tax evasion and people who evade taxes, if that's what you're asking.
I think the point of this proposal is to make it easier than keeping track of your receipts.

States already collect sales tax on sales within their state (buyer and seller both in the state).. Sales across state lines fall outside jursdiction of either state and they consitute "Interstate Commerce".
Yep, everything is a fairness act when the government gets to increase taxes.
This is not an increase in taxes, but rather a mechanism to collect local sales taxes that are currently being side-stepped on out-of-state internet purchases.
Oh goody, more money in state coffers and less in the private sector.
