A handful of states have already tried this and it doesn't work. One thing it does do is cost people jobs and pull money out of the state.
For instance, I have a few websites that advertise Amazon products and I get a percentage of all sales made from leads generated through my website. Most of these "Internet Tax" laws consider people like me as a "domestic presence" and would try to force Amazon to collect taxes.
Instead, they sever all ties to individual Affiliates (like myself) in the state. This has happened in RI, NY and every other state that has passed laws like this.
