What if your small business is online? How does taxes help you? Aren't most online businesses small businesses?
Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

if they do it the way they do it now, then it makes most sense for businesses to be located where they get the most sales locally in addition to online sales, since online sales are being taxed by where the person lives.
that is, f**k montana, like 10 people live there and the state, with use of sales tax, can't attract businesses.
it should be where the sale happened, which is really where the store is located. if i go to florida and buy some touristy stuff, the state there gets sales tax, not minnesota, even though i am a resident of minnesota. if i virtually go visit florida and buy something from a company based there, i would expect it to act in the same way
