    Hi Lisa. It is beginning to sound like you want to make sales tax
    into a social/political issue, which it probably is.  The point I
    think ther rest of the Orchid community is trying to make is that you
    are playing with fire in your attitude toward collecting and paying
    in sales taxes, and you attitude toward having a resale number.  As
    others have said, none of us much likes to pay taxes, especially when
    we see how much of that tax $ is squandered.  The fact remains,
    though, that it is the law.  Different states, different laws.  But,
    it would be in your own best interests to learn exactly what you can
    and cannot do, and abide by those rules.  There are more effective
    ways to make a social statement than getting yourself into legal
    trouble and owing a heap of money in back taxes, penalties and
    interest.  If this is the way you want to operate, so be it.  But I
    don't think you will find much sympathy or agreement amongst those
    who grit their teeth and live with the rules. Jim
