Oddly enough, they're only going after tobacco, not other goods.
I understand that some Internet companies agree to directly charge your bank account for each order. Therefore, sidestepping the necessity of using credit cards. Easy for the buyer to control the amount of money kept in a certain account. Again, the state would be SOL.
Well the thought also occurred to me that they can't levy a tax against this citizen because they could in no way prove that he was selling the cigarettes. Unless he was buying more than the allowed limit for the state to import without tarrif.
At $16 a case, going after tobacco is going after the big money.
For now....they're doing their thang one step at a time.
