Most likely because this bill will tax all online stores, regardless if you are outside of the state the company is operating in. This is because people don't fill in the "Use Tax," which in some states made it optional for people to fill out.
I'm against the tax bill because government should not be taxing when the economy is in bad shape... it will just make people buy even less and online companies will get the hit because of less people are willing to buy online with a tax on it and the American people already paying alot in taxes already... it would only cause more outrage (If you read the news, there are already people protesting on high/unfair taxes).
Currently, these online companies only pay their taxes on the revenue they pull in.
