Do sales taxes spell the end of internet commerce?

Not if you can still get stuff online more easily than you can get it locally.

Why should internet commerce be exempted when other forms are not?

If shipping costs don't destroy internet sales why would taxes?

Internet prices can be lower, since the store front is electronic, so they still have an advantage.

I have a relative who runs an online store - he says he actually makes most of the money from the shipping and handling charges.

I can certainly believe that.
