So you're trying to tell me that the vendor doesn't pay ANY tax on this product when THEY purchase it from the manufacturer? And that tax is not included in the price to the consumer?

I can teach my dog to fetch, but I cannot explain this to you. How many ways can I say that there is no double STATE tax. When the vendor purchases from the manufacturer he is not taxed by the state. Its only when the vendor sells it is he taxed and then only on instate sales that are not exempt. Now you used ANY tax. I believe the federal government has a hand in the pocket of the manufacturer but that isn't done twice and it isn't being charged by any state.

And then the consumer is expected to pay ANOTHER tax, from their HOME state, upon reciept of the product!

No, not true. Listen if the evidence I have supplied so far has failed to explain it to you, then I give up. Go ahead and hold a false concept. There is no double tax but if you want to believe that in spite of the facts, reason etc, go ahead.

Sounds like SOMEONE is paying a double tax, whether it's stated as a tax or not.

No, your wrong.

Of course due to leagality and nomenclature you wouldn't care about that. The government isn't calling the first one a tax, it's just the price of having the vendor be the middlemen, so there isn't any double tax because the government doesn't call it a tax. Right, Ray?

I used to think you were intelligent. This is simply your imagination, there is no double excise tax. Either the home state allows a credit for the tax paid to the other state of the other state doesn't charge. How can it be any more simpler?

I understand that legally there is no double tax.
I am intelligent. Intelligent enough to know when the government, state OR federal, is trying to pull the wool over my eyes, whether it's legal or not.

Once again, just because it's legal doesn't make it right or ethical.

When the vendor purchases from the manufacturer he is not taxed by the state.

I will not try to be an expert but this statement just doesn't ring as true.
You're trying to tell me that when a vendor buys from a manufacturer there is no state tax on what they buy?

The vendor has to PURCHASE state tax stamps from the Dept.Of Revenue..before he can sell them to a retailer. The manufacturer doesn't do the tax stamps. Individual states distribute the stamps. Taxes vary. Whatever the vendor buys and doesn't sell, he eats the state taxes. He already paid them. If someone buys a carton in any state, they have paid that states taxes. The tax stamp proves it.To have another state try to make you pay their taxes as well, is called double taxation.
