If you bought it by the case?

It takes two to bribe. So in case of your grocer, he can refuse the bribe. But with government regulations he doesn't have a choice. To me that's a huge difference, better known as liberty vs tyranny. > Meanwhile, the Internet providers are trying to find more way to tax > every single business transaction that goes through their system. I haven't noticed Time Warner, my internet provider, adding a fee to my internet purchases. In fact, many of my purchases avoid state and local tax, much to those government's chagrin. Considering the general poor level of the services they provide (potholes in the streets, lousy school systems) I have no compunction using every legal way to avoid their involuntary levies. But again, the free market isn't perfect. It's just much better than the alternatives.
