A few responses ago, referring to the Constitution, a note was left that Con-
gress has to approve interstate things, like taxes.  Is it so far fetched
that Congress, with a quick wave of its mighty pen, WON'T approve such 
a nationwide mail order tax.  They are always looking for more tax money. The
big retailers, such as Sears, Wards, Venture, etc would probably be FOR
a tax on mail order items, and they would have well funded lobbyists that
would do nothing to help small mail order companies get away from paying
taxes that the retailers, who sell locally, already pay.  I fear its only
a matter of time when, not only will you have to pay tax on mail order items,
_but_ you won't be able to hide or escape from paying those taxes.
