But... somehow it still left a bad taste in my mouth. >> Here in the state of Washington, where Don runs his mailorder operation, there is NO state income tax. Our budget is financed by sales tax only, (8.75%). Don escapes contributions to the upkeep of the state by not doing business with any Washingtonians. Am I bitter? yes, he has many good deals. Is this right? no, he should be obliged to collect taxes to support our state. By the amount of items that seem to go through his web page the state could reap a heafty amount. Things would be different if we had an income tax, he would at least be paying his share to the state. Al
