This principle is deeply embedded into the Constitution and the federal system of states.

People can not read and comprehend, you only pay sales tax if your a online retail business that collects a million dollars or more in sales. The rest of you small time eBayer's have nothing to worry about. Another redneck Republican false panic attack of "Obama is an Alien and he is gonna' take all our guns away'!" Wake up people and get into reality please......for once.
