It would be nice to force adoption of harmonized tax laws as a prerequisite for being eligible to receive internet taxes, but it would be difficult to come up with a set of laws that appealed to everyone. States with lower tax rates would be unlikely to want to raise the rates on their citizens, where states with higher rates may not be able to afford dropping down to a lower rate (although the lower overall rate may be offset by the larger number of taxable transactions). Multiply this 50-way negotiation by the number of actual tax rules and you can see how feasible harmonization would really be.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to see something like this come to pass, so you'll have to excuse my cynicism (no doubt brought on by current events).
