That 6% sales tax started out as a luxury tax. Now you pay it on everything, even toilet paper.
No wonder so many folks go to Delaware to shop!

I wouldn't be surprised if Pa. would get more revenue with a 3 percent sales tax than with the 6 percent tax.

We'd do well to remove/lower the sales tax from mid-priced items like appliances, electronics, etc. I think that is most of the types of items people go to Delaware for.
You can't go out of state and avoid sales tax for cars, planes, boats, mattresses and furniture (at least by delivery), etc., and there is no tax on clothing. And I doubt many people go out of state for books or trinkets.
