yes these have been several proposals to collect state sales tax on Internet sales and at some point it will probably pass. The idea is based on the fact that merchants selling over the Internet are in fact selling merchandise and should be collecting and paying state sales tax to the various states. Many states have added a line to their income tax form where residents are required to state how much they purchased on the Internet and pay the sales tax that way. Obviously that only collects a percentage of the correct tax.Many large national internet merchants do collect and submit sales tax. The current state of the law requires merchants who have a "nexus" in the state to collect sales tax. A nexus being a physical presence.If your question is about a "national sales tax" a percentage added on sales and going to federal government there have been few if any serious proposals. Some have suggested a national sales tax in lieu of income tax.
