1) Re: 2011 House Bill 4919 (Impose plastic shopping bag tax ) by egorhythmia on June 24, 2012What will they tax next ? CrazyforBargains footed pajamas ? Are we ever going to be able to buy stuff that we want at really decent prices ? or do we need to tip the government on all things (even necessities) ? I think it's becoming more and more abusive and frankly I don't know if there is anything we can do.
This bill is one more reason to run democrats out iof state government. They have nothing to do but dream up money schemes to bankrupt the state and steal disposable income from tax payers. Stupid bill . . . stupid legislator. Watch out for the state that will giuve you everything you want . . . it will also take everything from you. This just a foot in the door to raise taxes . . . creeping socialism and creeping taxation. Next year or two the bag tax will be 2 cents and eventually 10 cents. So don't enact this bill.
Not the worst tax, what??? This is ridiculous enough with the taxes. I went to walmart on friday and had about 10 bags because she double bagged the heavy items. These small insidious taxes add up and it is basically legalized theft. NO MORE TAXES even if you think it's only a penny, I still bend down on the street to pick up pennies.
