This is one instance where I don't have a clear feeling one way or the other.

I am for the least amount of taxation possible, but I also don't want to see an unlevel playing field for brick and mortar stores that invest capital and create jobs.

I doubt Texas will decline. Like South Dakota we have no state income tax, and sales taxes are the largest portion of our revenue at the state and local levels.

by the letter of the law, SCOTUS is wrong on this one. But judges usually make decisions based on spirit and their law philosophy.

You realize raising taxes isn't exactly a winning platform right?

This will significantly effect Amazon. A lot of their items just increased by 10%. And their margins have always been very thin anyways
