Geez, Andy, why do you get to live around everything good?


Location, location, location!

Except for Four Corners, (New Mexico?), which ain't your thriving
metropolis), I can be in three other states in under half an hour
(traffic depending) Starting in PA: NJ, DE and MD.

Delaware is fun for shopping with no sales tax!!!

Unless you live in a state like Rhode Island, where they've implemented
a use tax law. http://www.tax.state.ri.us/info/whats.pdf

So if you buy it online or in a state with a lower tax rate (For
instance, MA) you have to kick the whole tax or the difference to RI.

Right now its an honor system and most people I know have long since
forgotten where they purchased things. But we're in that technological
age where online vendors etc. could kick back a report to RI Div Tax.

But the bigger ones like Amazon just build the tax in now.
