    I have to respond to this. I don't sell much, but what I do sell
    retail, I declare as income and pay the sales tax on, whether I was
    paid by cash, check or otherwise. Why? Because that is the honest
    thing to do. I  hope that everyone on this list does likewise. The 
    assumption that most of us on this list are cheating on our taxes is
    disrespectful and demeaning.
