Frankly, I would rather pay the shipping charge than paying my instate
sales tax that is inching close to 10%. At least the money would be
going to a capitolist shipper than a socialist government.

ooh, ohh! scary socialtistic gubmint!

do you insist it be shipped UPS and not the postal service, even if UPS is
more expensive?

(i will admit it may be a mark of failure of the socialist government that
you can't spell 'capitalist.' or maybe you are just stupid.)

This is what happens when you live in a state with a regressive tax
structure, i.e., no income tax. That includes my former domicile of
Texas, where calling someone a socialist could get you shot by a
legally-carried concealed weapon. It also includes my current domicile
of Washington, where (at least in my neighborhood) calling someone a
socialist could get you invited to their next meeting and vegan potluck
(OB food).

I live in a state that has both income tax and, in my town, a 9 3/4%
sales tax but it's less on food. We also have legally-carried concealed
weapons, very few outright socialists, or at least socialists that will
admit they are socialists, lots of dead beats and scoff laws, and the
best politicians money can buy.

I always check the shipping costs against our local sales tax just to
see what the difference is. Sometimes you pay the shipping costs because
it is an item you need or just really, really, want.
