I know how much I spend online. I know what my sales tax rate is. I know what the amount on the chart is. I pay the amount on the chart.

I also know whether the standard deduction is more or less than I would get by itemizing.

Sorry if you think that's stupid.

I don't feel particularly guilty about not paying sales tax on out-of-state sales. I don't see how the state should get anything for those products. It's their own fault for being so anti-business that it's cheaper to buy something from another state and have it shipped in. They don't see it that way, of course. It's all those evil business owners.
I think it's stupid to fail to pay one's fair share. You don't like it, work to change the law, don't evade the tax.
