If the states start to feel a significant volume of sales tax money is lost via online purchases, you can bet taxation is coming. If there has to be a tax, I would like to see them just collect normal sales tax for internet and mail order for your state of residence rather than some new additonal "internet tax".
But I wont start a tax rant...I'm still enjoying the spirit of the holiday season...

Most states actually do have a "use tax" form that you're supposed to fill out for internet purchases (or any purchases where you're not taxed at the point of sale).
The states could work around enforcing this by requiring online stores to have a nexus in each state they deliver to. Since Amazon has a shipping facility, in GA we automatically get taxes tacked on to our purchases
