“It is a way of providing some tax relief to women everywhere, young girls in particular,” senator Diane Savino said.

Gotta love that quote. On top of that, who ever classified tampons as a luxury item in the first place?

Women, since the dawn of Time....It’s a 1st world ‘problem’, hence ‘luxury’. Even the pill, unless Rx, is a luxury (body is working as intended).

How ‘bout some relief for MEN? Curves, ‘Ladies Night’, etc. No talk of dropping the condom tax? /s

Yep, more govt meddling in the tax code. No across the board, but more Socialism and carve-outs and exemptions...
