Well .. except for necessities .. we could stage a protest - and not buy anything over the internet - when their taxes don't materialize - they might change their minds .. LOL!

I never make internet purchases anyway. I go to the internet and find what I want or need, out of state, and call them on their 800 number. My Visa number never get on the internet, and there is no tax on interstate purchases by phone.

Another benefit of doing it this way is, I know to whom I've given my CC number too. If there are any fraudulent charges, I know where to start.

That's a good point. And .. I do that a lot too - especially if I can go to a store locally and actually look at the product.

Your point is well taken .. and I may start doing that more often.

However, I don't have a problem with Staples or Office Depot for basic things such as paper - because then they get to haul a couple of cartons of paper - not me.
