Now you even get hit with sales tax when buying shit from overseas.

I guess it all started when they began to crack down on Amazon about not collecting taxes.

If you live in a state where they don't charge sales tax you get that glorious 0% Ebay and Amazon sales tax.

Well, let's see...

Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon (although Alaska apparently has some local taxes)

Well, I've always kinda Montana. I guess I should also look at states without income taxes, and... huh, Alaska is on both? But supposedly the COL is insane in Alaska.

Yep, Alaska is surprisingly expensive to live in, mostly the cost of things like say milk or other food is much higher.

I assume it's due to difficulties in getting those things to Alaska.
