That's the WHY.
Will it HURT small businesses? Sure. Is that WHY they voted yes because they want to close small businesses and decrease Job growth? No. This is a case of Politicians being Politicians. They don't THINK before the act when they see dollar signs.
If the 27 Senators said "The reason our colleagues voted for this is because they are bought out by big business and big businesses want to hurt Ma and Pa", that doesn't make it true.
This already happened here in CA where they passed a law requiring all Internet businesses to collect state sales tax. CA is run by Money Hungry Politicians who look for every way possible to make us pay more taxes. This was just the next step.
Again Will it hurt small businesses? Yes
Are most Politicians intelligent enough to realize that? Dunno...maybe it's not intelligence but morality but the fact is this is a MONEY grab because even after Ma and Pa go out of business, Amazon and every other online retailer will still be collecting Taxes for Big Government

If in our Capitalistic, and I don't include crony, country you push a bill that destroys the relationship between the online merchant and the states by causing them to collect sales tax from states they receive no benefit from, it is much more than about tax revenue, IMO. That has been the argument and it is much more than a political point.
