How are you going to see a “tax protest” for a sales tax that your state has had for years, so far?

It won't consist of active protests on street corners with tiny bags of dried beverages. It might consist of more underground means of protest. I can see people using fake IDs (much as illegal aliens do) to establish addresses in states that don't have sales taxes to get out of paying.

You said — It won’t consist of active protests on street corners with tiny bags of dried beverages. It might consist of more underground means of protest. I can see people using fake IDs (much as illegal aliens do) to establish addresses in states that don’t have sales taxes to get out of paying.

Heck! Can you imagine how upset I was to be buying stuff online and getting charged sales taxes, and yet, I lived in a state that did not have sales tax. There was nothing I could do to convince some of these online retailers to not charge me sales tax (and they did have my home address). They said that if they “shipped it” elsewhere, other than to my home address, they would have to charge sales tax for that state it was shipped to. If they shipped it to my home address, then they wouldn’t have to charge me sales tax.

I couldn’t convince them to do it any differently, even though I wasn’t at “home” at the time... LOL...

So, you see, there are “always problems” no matter what...
