that makes me the criminal?

If you cannot discern that tax evasion is a criminal behavior then there is no hope.

OK, Ray, let's review.

you start out by implying that anyone who wants to know if their internet vendor turns over lists to any government entitiy is a tax cheat.

In post 45 you state that out-of-state sales (i.e. internet sales) aren't taxed by the home state, yet you seem to imply it's legal for the home state to tax out of-state-sales.
Which is it?

in post 54 you seem to be saying that to be ethical you must apply and meet all government standards and rulings.
Do you really believe that all government rulings apply to ethicality?
Can you be ethical and NOT meet all the standards and rulings?

In post 61 you did not answer the first point I made. It had to do with government standards and rulings.
To my second point you seem to be saying that if it's legal it's ethical and right.
Again, do you really believe that?
Just because it's legal doesn't make it ethical OR right. And if you want I'll dig up some examples.

In post 64 you say there is no double taxing going on.
Does this apply to just the vendor, just the purchaser, or both?
I'd be willing to bet a dollar that the vendor paid taxes in their home state, that price was included in the sale price of the item, and (according to you) the purchaser should be paying ANOTHER tax in THEIR home state.
How is that NOT double taxation?

In post 91 you have a definition of criminal that seems to fit our government to a "T" and yet when I ask you about another similar situation you imply that might makes legality.
Is that it? If they can whup ya they get to make the laws, whether the laws are ethical, moral, or make any sense?

And then , post 103.
Guess all the members of the Boston tea party were criminals, not patriots, huh?
