That is one of the reasons the shipping costs are so high.  The charges for

you are required to pay state and local taxes on the products.  Course few • if
any people actualy send the money to thier governments and its next to
impossible to enforce.


Really? I thought you only paid sales tax if you live in that state, say I
bought an item from Michigan, where I reside, from a Michigan distributor. I
don't think many local taxes are in sales, etc. It is mostly income and • property
tax. i think the Constitution forbids interstate commerce duties and taxes.

I'm not Larry and don't play him on the internet :^)
The way I understand it, currently and in MN, is that any mailorder purchases
where the MN sales tax is not collected you are supposed to pay a "use tax"
that happens to be the same % as the sales tax....  I'm sure that other states
are the same way.  Also if a company does business/has a physical precense in a
state it is required to collect the sales tax for that state.....
