I always wonder about the morality of people who intentionally avoid paying the taxes dues in their jurisdiction. Do they also religiously not use the services those taxes pay for? One example is the roads people drive their RVs over.
I think it is fair and reasonable to pay for the services that are provided. To do otherwise is not honest or moral or....
You make an excellent point and I appreciate your input. In NC we pay a separate road tax so rest assured the roads people are getting my money.
Buying on-line through other states is in no way illegal here in the US and very commonly practiced.
Normally I wouldn't have noticed or worried about a sales tax but while price matching RV washer/dryer combos today on-line I noticed other sites like PPL beat CW by over $300 because of tax alone.
So your telling me the morally correct thing to do was to buy from the seller that added taxes just because I should feel obligated to pay taxes?
Come on, $300 in tax? That would be about $4,250 at 7% for washer/dryer, are you sure you are not stretching the truth a little for dramatic effect? :R

No not stretching at all, I just didn't list everything I had in the shopping cart on top of the washer/dryer. The washer/dryer alone was in the $70-80 range, but by adding the same stuff I was wanting to buy from CW to my PPL cart the difference not having to pay tax was $300.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
