Wrong. Not every city and state in the US has a sales tax. I do most of my shopping outside of the cities tax zone or in Anchorage to pay as little sales tax as posible. The value they give to an economy also detracts from it by lowwering wages for the type work they perform.

By working under the table they arent coverred by workmans comp insurance or any of the safeties legal workers are coverred by.
