That strikes me as both morally reprehensible (tax evasion is stealing from everybody) and legally wrong.
Not to mention all the other people in her state who buy taxable stuff online (and don't pay the use tax, when appropriate). Or all the people who travel out of state and buy taxable stuff and bring it back without paying use tax (when appropriate). Or all those people in the state who take a vacation and buy taxable stuff and bring it back without paying use tax (when appropriate.)

That is one state full of morally reprehensible people.

FWIW, I am not a tax expert, so some of the above mentioned people may be less morally reprehensible than others.
