When out-of-staters come to California and buy things retail, they really shouldn't have to pay sales tax, correct? It's based on where one lives, not where one buys things?
So where is the big effort by California to make sure these people get their tax refunded? Where is the "morality" in the state keeping revenue it doesn't deserve? It all evens out in the end.
Blood-sucking tyrants have always abused people's sense of fair play and "morality" to separate them from their money. When that doesn't work they send in men with guns and clubs.
No. It's governed where the sale took place. The visitor to California who buys something taxable while in California pays California sales tax. If he purchased it online from Nevada, he's not subject to California sales tax -- thanks to the commerce clause in the US Contitution.
