Tax Happy Alabama, Tax Happy Chelsea

Taxes are too high. Everyone knows it. You know it when you buy groceries or the kid’s clothes. Government knows it too. That’s why they have annual sales tax holidays.

As pointed out by the Tax Foundation, “If a state must offer a ‘holiday’ from its tax system, it is an implicit recognition that the state’s tax system is uncompetitive. If policymakers want to save money for consumers, then they should cut the sales tax rate year-round.”

Oh well. Instead of following that good advice, politicians decide to pile more taxes on the backs of the people.
