Some legislators think Nevada women are cheap dates.
Consider a recent proposal from Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui, D-Las Vegas, and Sen. Yvanna Cancela, D-Las Vegas, to eliminate the 8.15 percent sales tax on feminine hygiene products. Around the country, liberals are on a crusade to eliminate the “pink tax,” the higher prices women supposedly pay for products.
Jauregui claims that by assessing a tax on tampons, “Our state government doesn’t view feminine hygiene products as a necessity.”
This is ludicrous. State government has no opinion on feminine hygiene products. Tampons are taxed because Nevada has a sales tax.

Better yet, why not put a tax on DemocRats??? And triple the tax when one of them says anything under the category of “tax and spend”...
This kind of cheap sloganeering and political grandstanding gets incredibly annoying. Especially when it is deliberately factional like this when it could be framed to be inclusive rather than exclusive.
There is a legitimate argument to lift the sales tax on all medical products. Many Prescription drugs for example are not taxed. Instead of arguing for only feminine products why not argue all health related products - tampons, aspirin, cough syrup, bandages, antiseptics and more. Sure there would be some lobbying to include things like soap, toothpaste, toilet paper but my point is this issue could be argued from a higher moral purpose.
Instead, it is turned into a cheap political theater. These type of politicians should be fired at the voting booth and sent to the private sector.
Ashley Judd bleeds all.over her blue jeans because of sales tax on feminine hygiene products. That’s what I learned from her speech at the women’s march.
I also learned she isn’t shy about calling her private area a pussy. Trump was crucified for that, but its OK for liberal Hollywood idiots to use crude vile language.
Toilet paper is taxed, do these women refuse to wipe too?
No rubber tax!
So now women just want stuff without paying sales tax, or getting everyone to pay for their products.
The next evolution in government being the husband/male provider for women.
Besides rubbers are multipurpose. They make really good water balloons.
Beer is a necessity, mainly consumed by men. It’s taxed even more than tampons!
Women even get Ladies Night discounts on beer.
The next evolution in government being the husband/male provider for women
Nope.
Next step is gettin' the guv'mint to pay for dem puzzy pads 'cause de be an ENTITLEMENT.
We are saying the same thing.
More proof the left have a mental disease. A very severe one.
