They will think of anything to make a buck off the taxpayer.
They tried this at my car dealer here in Texas the last time I bought a new one. Big rebate, but they tried to tax the car before the rebate. I had evidence all over the place that they were wrong. So I was ready to walk, and then they owned up...but they pushed and pushed right until the end.
Coupon ping.
“They’re doing this to survive.”
Not in America they aren’t. America has 250lb bums.
I’ll accept “They’re doing this to live.”, but no further...
The dems are getting creative in their raping the ordinary folk. But this is, after all, CT.. they wanted this guy, so I just can`t seem to muster up any sympathy.
The NUTmegger elected that NUT so they are getting what they deserve.
CT residents sure elected a real winner with this guy.
[For example, the tax would be imposed on the $30 price of a blouse, not the $15 sales price. ]
Insanity. Next, they will pass a law requiring retailers to start out with a 5,000% markup on the original price.
Sounds like a recipe for confusion and a real interesting time for the auditors and tax collectors that will be trying to enforce this equitably.
I’m not thinking about the $3 bottle of detergent cited in the article, but more expensive items like used cars in which the prices are a lot more flexible, how do you verify what the “original” price of the 2008 Lexus that was sold and whose price changed several times before the final sale of it.
Sounds like a accounting mess, and something that is likely to change sales practices in the vehicle, appliance, airline tickets and other higher ticket items.
Democrats are heartless. Clipping coupons is the only entertainment some poor folks get. Democrat Scrooges want to tax away their fun.
Slippery Slope Alert
Then they should also tax ANY retail item on sale at the “pre” sale price. That’s all a coupon is. A sale price.
According to this logic, grocery chains’ house brand products should be taxed at the price of the more costly brand names not purchased.
Looked him up.
Yep, Democrat.
Is anyone surprised?
That’s taxing the imputed value of an item, instead of the actual price. Pretty outrageous, even for Democrats. Will the Rats who control that legislature pass it? That will do wonders for their claims to be for the little guy.
Eventually the State just needs to determine the “correct” price for each and every item. A store can sell for any price they wish (whether everyday low prices, sale prices, or coupons), but will have to collect tax on the state-determined “suggested retail price.”
Politicans like this are just plain evil....they deserve nothing, make nothing and figure they own everyone’s money..
If the State can do this to people, they can do anything they want. If they can somehow implement this, I think we would see quite a few large purchases being done in other states. If they want to kill their economy, this is a good way to do it.

I live in this state, where everyone talks 'RED', but votes 'BLUE' based on the big lie...'Democrats are for the little guy'.
‘Tis crud like this that makes me reconsider the merits of a barter system.
