Sales tax should be earned by a state, as a way to finance the services they provide to businesses that sell products within their state. I say earned, because if it's the tax is not worth the benefits, new businesses will locate elsewhere. It's reasonable that business pay for the emergency services, roads, infrastructure, etc. that they use. Streaming service sales do not in any way increase the costs faces by a locality, so they shouldn't be taxing it. If Chicago wants to tax companies like Netflix they should convince them to locate there.
