 I don't have any faith that Congress will work anything out.  I do believe that the Supreme Court will most likely rule that taxes need to be collected in all states.  There is too much political pressure to do it.  I doubt that this will help the brick and mortar stores, however.  Except for restaurants and other such stores, I believe that most businesses in the future will need to do internet sales to survive.  I think that the little fish such as myself will be left to swim for themselves in a new tax centered world.  NH Joe
