On Sunday, a CEO and a professor squared offered differing views on whether states should collect sales taxes from online transactions. Readers, too, weighed in. For example, Sandi Saunders wrote:

I think it is a total cop-out for the sellers who will ship to any state refusing to collect the sales tax due in that same state. While I agree that it is the buyer’s responsibility to report the sales tax, like other responsible things, it somehow does not get done.
