    Lisa, While I agree with you that sales tax is a regressive tax, that
    fact alone does not, in and of itself, mean that you are not
    obligated to collect and pay the tax.  Most states now use a variety
    of sales, income, and property taxes as well as fees to collect the
    money that is necessary for your schools to run, your roads to be
    paved, your social services to be funded etc.  You do have an
    obligation as 1) a businessperson and 2) a resident of your state
    where someday you may find yourself in need of some services to
    collect and pay all the applicable taxes.
