In making their decision, justices ruled that South Dakota can collect sales taxes from online retailers like Wayfair, which brought the suit. In doing so, the court reversed a 1992 ruling that allowed states to levy taxes only on those businesses with a brick-and-mortar location within the state. The court said that law effectively incentivized businesses to "avoid physical presence" in states and led to "a judicially created tax shelter" Ultimately, the justices said the current laws are outdated.
If you ever want to reinforce positive governing behavior, then the only tax that should apply is the tax in the location of the seller. A state that governs properly will have more producers, more sellers. A state that doesn't govern properly won't have very many producers or sellers. In other words, the governments should be cleaning up their acts, so that people can build businesses wherever they are, but instead the Supreme idiots apparently think it's a good idea to shove even more costs on everybody else.
This is just more theft.
