Sadly I wish you were right.....
which imposes a federal ban on state and local taxes on Internet access services *and* certain Internet-based sales transactions
Internet access services like VOIP, this means that they can tax it as a telecom serice (like verizon) and then DOUBLE tax it for web access, not to mention the ADDITIONAL web sales tax!
WTF are these states trying to do here? Everyones verizon bill would go from 29.99 to 32 bucks for standard sales tax and maybe 37 after all of said taxes.
Cell phone bills already suffer for this. I pay city, county, and state tax on my cell. 39.99 = 47.95 per month here in maryland after taxes.

1. Walmart/K mart/Target(loss of sales to a little guy online and Ebay)
2. Usual Suspects: SBC, Verizon and their Klan.
Walmart probably thinks this is Cool as selling themselves as all American when they are a China junk store. | |

The Pringles I bought there didn't come from China.
Otherwise, yes, Wal-Mart is a GUI for Chinese products.
