I dont like paying taxes any more than the next guy but fair is fair; why should internet purchases have a tax advantage over the locally owned Ace Hardware?

Plus our roads need repaired.

I don't get it either. Don't enjoy paying it but internet retailers do not need yet another advantage over brick and mortar stores.

They don't. Just purchasers are dishonest and don't pay their taxes. So the government crams down mandates on businesses to confiscate the taxes, file various tax reports and remit the tax back to the government. So not only are you paying the tax but increased prices due to the added cost to run that business.
