I just had an idea, I'll open a Delaware Corp. and run everything though
that. I won't charge any sales tax to anyone!



Works just fine, as long as you have no physical presence in another
state. Open a sales office, tech center, warehouse, etc, you then have
to collect for that state. It has worked like that for ages. That is
what makes internet sales lucrative. You don't collect the tax, people
don't pay the tax, even though they are obligated to do so as a use
tax.
