How much will it cost the vendors to do NY state's collection job for them?

Now, imagine this catches on and you're an online vendor suddenly having to account for and remit to 50 different states every month or quarter.

And how much will the governments spend to deal with possibly tens of thousands of these new sales tax remissions? No doubt they'll pat themselves on the back for creating more civil service jobs.

Devil's advocate would say, how much is it costing Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart etc to collect the state's sales taxes for them. Really this is no different than any other business. Walmart, etc all collect taxes for the states in which they operate, they then turn around and either monthly or yearly cut a check to the state in the amount of taxes they collected.
