Not really. The business does not pay taxes. A business collects the sales tax from the consumer then passes it to the state.
This really is a fair law, why should a business in your community be at a disadvantage overall price wise compared to an internet business? Also the state will just collect taxes from you in other forms to make up the shortcoming.
