Not that I'm against this but it's going to come out of something the government does for people. But then again with no education dept maybe it won't matter anyway.

Some states that already don't have sales tax off set it by having higher income or property taxes.

Ahh... so it looks like a slight of hand then to me. Thanks for the clarification.

With something like a +100% inflation in recent years removing a 5% tax doesn't even help much
