What we need is a common database for cities, counties, and states to add their taxes for different things to so the burden of tracking isn't on retailers. A site could pull the appropriate tax amount with a single API. I think it's good to let the individual places set their own tax rates as long as there's a way to take the burden off web retailers. For example, a city might have a tax on tire sales to help fund road upgrades. Online tire retailers shouldn't be able to skip out on the tax since the tires are going to be used on the roads the city is upgrading.
