Alarmist title. What it would

Alarmist title.

What it would allow is for STATES to collect their sales taxes on their residents, irrespective of a mail-order house having a presence in said state. As it stands now, residents are already liable, but they have to self-report tax.

Basically, it's a clarification of a Supreme Court ruling from the early 90s.
