Place a tax on something — even threaten to place a tax on something — and you will get less of it. These (former) Amazon vendors are being asked to irritate their customers and do the paperwork for no compensation from Governor Moonbeam. You’d think somehow California politicians would have learned that they are the problem and just get out of the way.

I have friends in New York state who will drive thirty miles or more just to buy gasoline in New Jersey where the gas taxes are much lower. It may be a break-even or worse for them but I understand their reasoning.

Same deal for me here in north Idaho. I drive to Spokane every day, but I refuse to buy fuel in Washington state. On the average, it's $.10 / gallon higher there due to taxes. F 'em.

How about a tax on government? That'd balance the budget in a heartbeat; state and ferral. /s

How long before they have undercover MY State Troopers watching NJ gas stations to catch “tax evaders?”

I do the same thing whenever I drive through SC. It's foolish to drive miles and miles out of my way to save a couple of bucks, but if I know that I'm headed there anyway, I make sure that the tank is on "E" as I roll over the border.

NC just raised their gas tax another 2.5 cents. I think that they're trying to make sure people stay out of the state.

Or dive to Pennsylvania for cloths which are not taxed there.
