The original artical was rather vague as to just who was going to be taxed.
The way it has been (at least for most people), is that if you buy something
via mail order from out of state, you don't pay that state's sales tax.  By
law you ARE supposed to, and have been supposed to for many years (this
from a law professor teaching contract law).  To me it looks like they are
just going to start enforcing that law.  Thus, if you buy something mail
order from IL, you will have to pay IL state sales tax.
