dingman,

I have no problem with paying for what MY state and MY country want. (Ok - I do, but I can understand it).

But I am not very keen on the idea of ohio (for example) telling me how I should run my business. When I set up shop in ohio - then they can bother me. Otherwise - bother the people and businesses in ohio. Just because I happen to have customers in ohio - I don't care. I wouldn't want to have to deal with the canadian gov't for the same reason.

You are right about sales tax being more of a problem for poor people (I think there is another term other than the one you used, but I can't remember).

Same with liquor, cigarette tax, and all those other ones.
