People alter their behavior all of the time (and even irrationally) because of taxation. i have a friend who 1) constantly tells me how WalMart is destroying my town, and 2) has bought just about everything he needs via the internet over the last 5 years to avoid sales tax. At least WalMart collects sales tax for my town.

That is irrational since sales taxes help pay for the services he probably uses in the city/town he live in.
I one the other hand hate to drive and shop and will buy off the internet (and pay shipping) just to avoid having to shop and/or drive anywhere.
