I’ll play the devils advocate here. In some sense, if you don’t pay the tax, aren’t you really cheating?

Legally, perhaps, but morally, no. Are they trying to say that there are no limits to the authority a California government can maintain over its citizens, regardless of where they do their shopping? I can't help but compare this to Dred Scott; it's a loose comparison, but an apt one, I think. Where do the limits of a state's authority begin and end?

Well if you sit in your home in Malibu and click on Amazon.com and make a purchase “where” are you doing
your shopping? There’s at least an argument to be
made that you’re actually still in California.
Reasonable minds may differ on this but I think you
can still have the conversation.

When Liberals pay their Airplane Taxes and Yacht Taxes, I might report them.
