Re: I see a problem:

The citizens of Oklahoma (for example) remain free, through their elected representatives, to tax themselves as they see fit. Additionally, like all other states, they participate in various federal tax revenue sharing programs.

The ability of states to raise revenue probably will not be affected seriously by this change. Sales taxes are not the only source of state revenues and the part due to internet (or mail order) sales is unlikely to be large.
