There's another reason too. States taxing people in other states will tend to tax the bejeezus out of them because they can't vote. Thus, Alaska might place a huge sales tax on oranges but none on salmon or snowballs. New York a few years back got into similar trouble trying to tax people who live in New Jersey who had family members who worked in NYC. This is a very bad thing! Give politicians the ability to tax people who can't vote them out and soon they'll be slaves. Didn't some country once go to war over an issue like that? ;-) --Brian
