That is truly unreal.

Everything's believable these days.

I don't think this is anything new--I think it's just the Department of Revenue sending around a "clarification" of what's taxable and what's not. If I'm not mistaken, I've always been charged sales tax when I've bought a bag of ice from most of the tackle shops around here. Also when I've bought it from the quick-mart type places.

Most people don't even look at their Stop&Shop register receipt to see what they've been charged tax on

You go into Red Top and buy a pair of ankle boots--no tax--they're considered shoes and clothing.

Waders--tax--they're "fishing tackle".

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Next thing is going to be the Federal Air We Breathe Tax !!!
It's going to be part of the Obama Socialist health care plan.
Every american will need to have a surgery for lung intake sensors so they can gauge the amount of air each of us take in & out !
