Congress Has Forbidden, by Law, State and Local Governments to Tax

Congress has forbidden, by law, state and local governments to tax Internet sales and access, notwithstanding a few limited exceptions.The original purpose was to give this new technology (the Internet)time to develop without government interference.States argue that they are losing billions of dollars in revenue and that the Internet is hurting local businesses and retail sales in their states.In your view, should state and local governments be allowed to tax Internet sales? Or, should the Internet be "off limits" for states to tap as another source of revenue?
