Don't be absurd, that's not going to work.

Do you go after 300 million people or do you go after 10s of thousands?

This is a problem with your states, not with the general idea that in the US the internet retailers are getting away with helping people avoid sales tax at the moment.

This was inevitable, if you didn't see it coming you're a fool.

Also this type of 'problem' is easily automated by computers, you're just going to have to pay for it.
