All members of IEEE in PA or anyone who hates big creeping tax and spend government, please contact your legislative rep in PA and fight this proposal. Here in PA we have some of the highest business and personal income taxes, sales taxes, business insurance, health insurance, auto insurance. Business is fleeing the state...and yet here we are again killing the emaciated golden goose of technology.

The similarities to Atlas Shrugged are uncanny.

One of the consequences of the bill would be the imposition of a 5% sales tax on engineers within Pennsylvania. Huh?

Okay. Whatever it is, I'm glad I don't live or work in PA. If there's somebody needing taxing in PA, it's their legislators. But then again, it sounds like they're over-taxed already trying to do their job correctly.

You bet.
People on this site may be sick of my rants on technology and engineering...but this kind of crap here shows you what we in the profession who also own businesses or do consulting face.
To me...it shows a total contempt and disregard for engineering and technology.
No politician would ever suggest taxing lawyers, or guys who cut lawns, or teamsters, or teachers, or heaven forbid...government workers!

It is simply stupid.
But that's okay. If they want to continue to destroy their technology base let them.
Now taxing lawyers... Hmmm... That's more like putting out shark repellent... That puts serious conflict in my principles...

It's the same thing in New Mexico, except worse. You pay sales tax on everything, including dentist bills.
Texas does charge sales taxes on drafting (including drawings generated by CAD), but only if the drawing is being done if contracted out. However if I am given a sketch and told to design it to make it work, then some engineering time is included (which is hard to separate out when I am on the CAD - yes an engineer that works with AutoCAD).
