Uh, we in NC (I'm in Durham, neighbor) are "supposed" to report such out-of-state untaxed purchases on our NC income tax forms. I SWAG it ... some years.
Don't toot this horn too loudly, as it gives more ammo to the states for bellyaching to Congress about how much of OUR money they are not collecting, and how an Internet commerce tax is "needed" - like one robber complaining to a more successful one about the lean pickings, and asking for help.
Guess I would not be so bitter if I saw them spending OUR money more carefully, and if we could vote out the money/power-grubbing crooks, but anyone new coming in seems to wind up the same way - "power corrupts...".
