You are the top political advisor to Governor Billy Ray Pickins, (aka
“The Kingfish”) the Governor of Florizona, a southern state with a large
population of retirees.  Florizona is
facing a large budget deficit for its fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016 (the
2017 fiscal year) and needs to raise tax receipts.  A logical target is to attempt to collect
more sales or use taxes.  As you know,
many Florizona senior citizens, with lots of money, limited mobility, and with
all kinds of time on their hands are buying lots of stuff from mail order
companies, over the internet and from TV “informercials.”  These purchases are not giving rise to tax
collections to Florizona.  At last
night’s poker game, the Governor told you about a conversation he overheard at
the national Governor’s conference: 

“There was this big fat guy there, Chris Chris or something like that
who was blathering about sales taxes—something about an Amazon case in New York and a Direct
Marketing
case in the 10th Circuit, whatever that is.  Anyway, fat guy was saying that these cases
were a “roadmap” to collecting more tax. 
So here’s what I need you to do. 
Look into these cases and recommend something that gets us lots of
money—for  the 2017 fiscal year.”

Kindly put together at least two legislative proposals for the Governor.
In your analysis, explain what the proposals will accomplish in terms of taxes
collected, how the proposal will work, how it can be enforced, and the political
consequences the proposals may generate. 
Your analysis should also, of course, considerer whether the United
States Supreme Court will consider the laws constitutional and whether it would
be useful to obtain the assistance of the United States Congress and the
President of the United States.

An organized well written reply will be appreciated.
