sales tax

You can complain to your state legislators who enacted the law for your state.  The sales tax is on the entire transaction.  There are quite a few states that also charge the tax on the shipping that is paid.

 

On June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of the state in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. The decision allows states to tax remote sales. The sales tax is charged by the state the item is delivered to for all internet / remote purchases.
