Anyone else think tax hike is just starting? The gov certainly is happy to give our money away, so..

Its not a big secret that taxes have just gone up. Even on used items, which is a bit unfair, as obviously they were already taxed previously.  But I think this is just the tip of it. I wouldn't be surprised if they doubled before too long. Its no secret this administration ministration thinks money should be given away to everyone, everywhere in every way. Heck, Scot Petersen on death row got a check.  Well, this is us giving it to them. And its not nearly enough. Im just a bit worried how bad it will get.

Sales tax? Income tax? Or are you just referring to taxes in general?

The state sales tax on used items is understood to be on the transaction, not on the item itself.

And, if the state sales tax were restricted to new items, wouldn't there be at least a few sellers who would claim their brand-new, shiny-still-in-the-box widget to be a used item?
