Why? Is it that you don't like schools and roads and fire departments and 
bureaucratic entertainment?
They (the state) may not pay you do their paperwork, but in most cases you 
get to keep their money for up to a month, no?
You "pass on" the charge, right?
Would you rather save your customer a penny so you can contribute more to 
the feds (instead of your local area) out of your taxable income?

Just wonderin'. Gets me in trouble, more often than not. <G>
