firm to do that.

I think that may be an exaggeration. Dealing with sales tax, while a pain, 
is not all that difficult. Millions of mom and pop stores around the 
country easily do it now. I've written sales tax modules that cover the 
entire US down to every possible wrinkle and the code is fairly trivial.

The way the existing sales tax system works is you only collect on sales in 
your own state. If Congress ever decides to impose some sort of national 
sales tax, then it would most likely be a simplified system that could be 
implemented with relative ease.

Right now, there's nothing for those in the US to deal with so there's no 
point in worrying about it.
