I think their point may be more thay sales taxes are regressive- they disproportionately impact people with less money, as those people need to spend all or most of what they have for necessities, while folks with a large surplus of wealth or income only need to spend a small portion and much of it can go towards savings or investments
I dont think its unreasonable for someone to say they’d rather just do away with sales tax altogether. We may have more appropriate tools with which to fund the government
I would rather see the sales tax go away entirely. And switch to some different method that’s more efficient, effective and doesn’t punish lower earners in the poor and middle class in California as much. Cuz heaven knows California is brutal enough on most of us here.
But on But on the flip side if there is going to be a sales tax it shouldn’t have some stupid ass exemption just because it’s online. So either tax it all fair or get rid of it f****** entirely.
Having weird nonsense b******* reasons for this. That or the other thing did not have it just for some stupid ass reason is confusing and also unfair.
Cuz not having it on digital platforms while having it in stores is just hurting my local video game shop, my local game store, my local mom and pop computer repair store that happens to sell video games, office copies of Windows or what f****** have you. It now cost more money to buy it from them than to just go online and buy it. Which means my local shop is getting less sales because of the sales tax.
Make it fair or get rid of it And I really rather they just get f****** rid of it.
