Looking at it like this...I spend at least $10-12 on fuel in my personal vehicle to get to the nearest store 100 miles away which MAY HAVE the item I want/need. Add on the 7-12% sales tax for the item in question. Let's do the math on a $400 item like a PC or Ipod or whatever you want: Buying in person 100 miles away - $12-fuel + $32-8% sales tax + $400-cost of item = $444 total cost. Buying online - $400-cost of item = $400 total cost. Since many local merchants refuse to carry products you may need or want...where does the local sales tax come from when you are forced to go to another state/community and pay their sales tax or not pay it at all by ordering online? Why should I reward the state/local government when I can't get what I want/need locally? Personally...I never buy big ticket items locally or in-state...unless the shipping is as much as the sales tax. If businesses/wealthy individuals can have their tax havens...the poor can as well whenever possible. For some of us who live in the middle of nowhere…having the online option is a godsend.

Just another reason to make sure you diversify your income. I would feel crushed if I lived in one of those States but I guess you have to go on and prepare yourself for the worst. Very scary.
