I just checked Wal-Mart on line, tampons can be bought for $9.27. Here in NM, the sales tax is 5.125%, sales tax is 48 cents. I have that much in change floating around in my truck!
Bras will be next.
buying the gold plated designer tampons, apparently .. more probable explanation = this is just more insane bullshite from the leftards.
Oh, just shove it up your c........um, never mind. Not going there. In any way. Nope.
If they don’t want to pay the tax, don’t buy the product! It is California and who will notice?
OR, you can buy dish towels and make a breech clout, as they did in the olden days.
Seems the Kenyans tanning bed tax was ok...
But somehow taxing my property is?
What happened to the whole “taxes are the price of civilization”?
Men can menstruate too.
But taxing wheelchairs *IS* Constitional- see Obamacare.
Believe it or not, there are several online articles about the issue of tampons in modern society and taxing them in particular.
I read the article from the Washington Post since I figured that they would have a sympathetic bent. It took me almost to the end of the article to find out that a box of tampons costs about $7. I assume that one box per month would be adequate/ If a 10% tax were applied, that would be $.70 cents per month.Some of the most hysterical speech stated that women would pay a ‘gender penalty’ of hundreds of dollars over a life time.
Well, OK. If the women are really up in arms about this, the best thing men can do is to STFU. Do you really want to talk about logic or insignificance of .70 in the bigger scheme of things to a woman with PMS? Good luck on that, Mate?
Me, I think I’ll have another beer.
Even an 8% sales tax = $6.50 in tax per year. Where does this hundreds of dollars figure come from????
Or for hygienic purposes. Then too, how do they get around electrical products such as male and female plugs and receptacles?
Stop worshipping genitalia
My goodness! If I had known that men weren’t charged tax on such products, I would have sent my husband to buy them for me during all those years I needed them. Dang, the little secrets they don’t tell you until you’ve gone through menopause.
This is a joke, right? I mean I know the LA Times is a joke but to stoop to this level to demand “equality”? OMG! Let’s count the ways how guys get screwed over.
How about when a woman wants to get an abortion?
Bull$hit. According to the latest edict from Trans Central, men can have periods too.
If the LA Times is for lowering any American’s taxes... well good.
The next item on the list for the feminists to gripe about will be the dildos.
When did they start taxing sex? I absolutely refuse to pay!
