    As an old grandma, I don’t often like the music selections, but I’m listening to Jake Xerxes Fussell and really enjoying it. Thanks Stephen.

    I appreciated Ms. Roth’s comment that requiring out-of-state vendors to collect sales tax requires the vendor not only to know all the taxing jurisdictions, but also to know the intricacies of what goods or services are taxed and at what rate in each of those jurisdictions. 

    I still remember when I lived in California and California changed the application of sales tax to food items, a bakery I patronized had a horrible time trying to differentiate wha tax applied to which of their goods. Cookies sold individually were taxed, but sold by the half-dozen or dozen were not. Muffins were not taxed but cupcakes were. They had to deal with questions like, “Is a chocolate chocolate chip “muffin” really a “muffin,” or is it a “cupcake”? 

    I understand that there are something like 12,000 taxing jurisdictions in the United States, many of which overlap. How is a small business supposed to keep track of all those? [Also, if they don’t comply, how would the taxing jurisdiction conduct enforcement anyway?]
