> [@Smaefer](#): > > No tax on Items UNDER a $110.00 those above will be taxed. Eliminating a tax exemption for clothes and shoes under 110.00 means the shoes and clothes that are under 110 are tax exempt now… therefore in the future that exemption will be gone … AKA Taxing clothes and shoes under 110 … AKA Poor people being Taxed, Not black people… they buy expensive shoes. ---

> [@Joe](#): > > Look for all those 99.99 shoes to jump to 110.00 real quick. whats sad is there will be people buying shoes for 110 instead of 80 bucks for the tax exemption… I’m excited to hear the first reports of such… when only 101 to 109.99 shoes will go over the 110… LOL ---

Well, there is currently no tax on clothing. Article says he wants to END the tax EXEMPTION on items UNDER $110 To me, that reads as no tax on clothes that are MORE than $110… amirite? ---

I just bought a house, and have never received star. Does this just mean that they are going to stop sending us those 400 dollar checks, or are they going to double our property taxes? My STAR taxes saves me about 900 per year… Time to get out while we are still young. ---

Blue state FTL. But I’m sure we’ll keep being a blue state, where cuts to bloated social programs and out of control unions just aren’t an option. I was honestly just laughing at people today at work who were flipping out. The same idiots who keep voting for these union endorsed democrats are the ones crying now. If it weren’t costing me so much money it would almost be worth it just to say I fucking told you so.
