Ecommerce and America's debt are growing exponenitially each year. I can't help but to think the answer to the whole sales tax debate is fairly obvious. Introduce a federal sales tax which is harmonized with state sales tax (ideally so it's the same rate across all states).

The government foreseeably increases its revenues and this whole mess about ecommerce companies in NY or CA having a competite disadvantage to companies in less populated states disappears.
