My point exactly. When I moved to Washington state, they required me to
present the bill of sale from NY, showing what sales taxes I paid. If
Washington's sales tax rate was higher than NY's, they'd have wanted me to
cough up the difference. Each state has different rules.

When someone makes an unsubstantiated blanket statement.... beware.
