So, for instance, I would be likely to say something like, "bummer! I'm being charged tax!" for an online purchase that charges it. It doesn't mean I'm trying to or intend to break the law.

Agreed. I never claimed I wasn't going to pay my taxes. I hate it when words I never said find their way into and out of my mouth. It's simply a point I was making to those who do change their shipping in order to somehow bump it up the queue to be aware that they might need to pay it now as opposed to later.
