If there were a national sales tax then we'd all have to collect and remit it on our site sales, since shipping a product to a different state than you have a business presence in would no longer be somewhat of an exemption.
On the positive side it would simplify things -- no more paying X% in one state, a different % in another, and if the distribution was equitably done, could make everyone live with it, if not be happy with it.
