Looks like the Republican war on small businesses and the states continues unabated!

Do you guys have an argument why this is a good idea besides "muh taxes"?

1) Unfair competition: online retailers like Amazon get to sell products at a 5-10% discount compared to local small businesses.

2) States are losing out on a considerable amount of sales tax revenue.

This isn't a national sales tax. It would essentially just make online retailers pay the full state sales tax.
