There is no end to the taxes blue states will enact...taxing on line orders to support the NYC buses and trains...and driving yet more businesses and jobs out of the city
Samuelson and Carroll try to couple this online tax with the financial position of the MTA, which runs the city’s vital subway and bus services. The two issues have nothing to do with each other.
The tax would harm both Samuelson’s transit workers and Carroll’s Brooklyn constituents, both directly like all New Yorkers, and by damaging the city’s economy more widely.
New York has always thrived by being a global point of connection for goods, services, people, and cultures. Putting up barriers in the name of bailing out the city financially would be the definition of myopic.

Some people do not understand how taxes are a catalyst of destruction. The government creates nothing, it's a consumer and every dollar they steal from the public is only partially given to the institutions they pretend to help. The government has to take their cut to pay for the program's personnel and incidentals.
"An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation." - John Marshall, McCullough v. Maryland, 1819

They don't care about losing the businesses because as socialists, they expect Federal aid for everything. So, it doesn't matter where the businesses operate.
