Quote - Oh, and will that lovely new Internet Tax the US Sentate just voted for apply to that price?

Misperception: that isn't a new tax, and it's not an "Internet Tax". It's requiring people to pay the sales tax for items they should have already been paying (if their jurisdiction has a sales tax) by closing a loophole that was being exploited.

Basically, if you were buying, say, a chair in a state where the sales tax was 5% (or whatever), if you bought it at a local store you'd pay the price plus 5%. What some businesses were doing was selling that same chair over the net, even if they and the customer were in the same state, and not charging the 5%. So local businesses who weren't trying to get around the rules were being boned, and taxes that should have been collected weren't.

If the item you're buying wasn't already subject to a sales tax if you went to a store and bought it in person, there's no change. If you were buying from an online supplier not abusing loopholes, there's no change.
