Brain fried at the moment, so I'm using that as my excuse for confusion but this is a question I'm still wondering about.

I know that physically I'm in CO, so I pay taxes here. I'm still confused as to why they get to tax a purchase I make online from a store in say CA. I mean I generally agree with the idea of taxes. Good for roads, schools, etc, but sometimes it just feels like I'm being taxed twice. Unless I'm buying cigars, then it feels like I'm being taxed four or five times.
