[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 554703, member: 60724"] RichardL says: So another person who claims that a practice that states are doing today is probably illegal. Man, no one here trusts our government! ;) Think of it not as a tax on goods from another state, but a use tax for using goods purchased tax-free from another state within your state of residence. If the other state were collecting taxes, that would be taxation without representation, and of course, that is illegal. But for my state of residence to charge a use tax on things I buy tax-free outside of the state, well there are a lot of good reasons to want to do that, and it isn't illegal. A taxing authority can tax just about anything and if you are within that authorities jurisdiction, well you can vote for or against, or lobby your congressman, etc. Hey, I'm not saying I like it, but I don't think it's an illegal practice. Nor do I think the fact that it is impossible to enforce is a reason NOT to abide. The Dude abides! TJR [/QUOTE]
