Hey all...tell me what you think about this little scheme: Today is "tax free" day in Florida and GA, (I don't know if the rest of the country has it or not) but as I was looking at the advertisement for Bealls, I read the following, which was in BIG PRINT:

"TAX FREE DAYS SALE EXCLUSIVELLY AT BEALLS!

Then it reads:

"Bealls Tax Free Sale offers you a special discount equal to the amount of the sales tax!"* (whenever I see that little *, I know something is up). Then I read on the bottom,

"*The price of the merchandise will be reduced by the applicable sales tax rate. Sales tax will be charged on the reduced sale price."

So......it isn't really a "tax free" sales day, is it? They are still charging you taxes on the merchandise. Sheesh.

Also...I cannot believe that Katherine Harris did not know that in order to run for Congress that she had to resign her position as the Secretary of State. Who the heck is HER campaign advisor? Are they just totally stupid? You would think that the most well-known woman in the country would have that knowledge, and if she didn't, you would think that the GOVERNER of Florida would have told her this. Or someone on her staff. They just put another nail in her election coffin.
