Topic	Should sales and property taxes be limited to luxury items?

Uh, in most states aren't most of those are already tax free (well, non-prepared foods, anyway)? Hell, in CT, even clothing used to be tax free (#FuckYouDanMalloy) Cherrys2000 posted... Alcohol, junk food, entertainment, electronics, hotels, and about anything else you can think of you would still be alive without would be taxed. As far as more debatable goods, like coffee, gas, charcoal, could be left to states to choose how they tax. For property, any land you own not exceeding some value or size would be tax exempt. As a follow up, if one or both of these systems were introduced, should income taxes be abolished? Wait, so you're going to reduce or eliminate taxes then additionally remove income tax? How the fuck is government going to finance anything? Cherrys2000 posted... The current U.S. tax system is out of whack, but I personally don't feel one way or the other about this particular idea as a replacement. Well, it's similar to what we already have except taxes would be reduced further so, unless you were massively cutting services, you're going to hit monster budget deficits. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:904659762] in Should sal...
