| to some degree, sales tax is voluntary taxation.. you could always choose not to buy something and not pay the taxes..
my state usually has a sales tax holiday every year, and it's amazing how much people buy on those days.. they abstain from spending this money the other 364 days of the year - and perhaps it could be due to the sales tax.. myself, i'm looking to buy a big hdtv and some new furniture, but i'm probably going to wait until the tax holiday comes around. |
