"Sounds like Iowa updated their law at some point, because the use tax never covered things you physically bought in another state and brought home.
Which is the very reason people hate the use tax, because it's a shady revenue grab, and why most states don't enforce it."
This brings to mind the famous quote from Atlas Shrugged:
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them...you create a nation of lawbreakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."
This bad Court ruling seem to make it easier for states to make all of us "criminals" insofar as "paying our internet taxes" is concerned.
