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

Also sin taxes on things that are bad for you just hurt the poor and keep them more poor, desperate, and unhappy. I think more realistically the issue is what we consider necessities. If the intent is to let people save to take opportunities but a car is a luxury then a lot of opportunities are inviable. I don't see an issue with everything that isn't absolutely necessary being a luxury as long as all necessities are safe. --- Scloud posted...
