This is moronic. New Yorkers buy online and go to NJ not because of sales tax but because of lower prices, in general.

Fact is, I shop online for the prices and convenience, and it has nothing to do with sales tax. Simply put, the “unfair price advantage” politicians talk about has littel to do with sales tax.
