Even the tax grabbers here in Pennsylvania have figured out one of the few reasons shoppers flock to this state is to buy clothing because it is sales tax exempt. A number of great clothing outlets and even clothing manufacturers who locate in this state because of the favorable tax treatment. The state makes a lot more taxing the profits and payrolls than they would taxing the clothing.

But the same tax grabbing nimrods can't make the same connnection with other industries which they are taxing out of business or encouraging them to leave the state.

You’re right about people coming to shop here in PA for clothes because there’s no tax.

Whenever I go shopping at the Crossings Outlets near Stroudsburg, PA, I always see busses from NY. The parking lot is usually full of cars with NY plates too.
