        Businesses don't pay sales tax, the consumer does. Internet sales should remain untaxed, the consumer is already taxed enough.

        Online companies do not collect sales tax on out of state sales. Sales tax is collected on sales within the same state only.

        Online businesses do not charge tax to out of state consumers. There's nothing for them to pocket because they don't even collect the tax.

        Taxes are collected when you purchase something by the state you purchased it in, not the state you live in. Should be same for online.

        In reality they can't make all merchants collect tax. Some already do though.
