No. Luxury or vice taxes are one thing -- when you buy a product that has those attached, it's a product that isn't basic. But sneakers? No.

"And since youth are the biggest purchasers of sneakers, says Davis, the tax would be levied on those who'd benefit the most from his efforts."
That's the most asinine statement....."youth are the biggest purchasers of sneakers" Just how do "youth" buy sneakers....from the money they make in the coal mine? Jeez Ya know, why don't these "politicians" just shackle all of us to the grind stone....and work us until we die. I guess 2day I'm on my "tax revolt" kick.....

Of course this is the state of Illinois, they tax everything there rather than cut spending, so very Democrat Party modes operandi! Note to self, do not move to state with Dem. Mayors, or Governor, they simply raise taxes, tax the air you breath, tax your shoes, tax your windows and anything else they can rather than cut expenses. Note to all would be thieves, go to Chicago to break and enter, the police have put the city on notification that they will not be able to respond to 911 calls unless there is bodily harm. Great, now all the B & E artists know they can do what they will, the police will not show up and the home owners are not allowed, by law, to have a gun. B & E just got easier and risk free.

Face it, this is what the dems. do. They tax everything, we call it being nickeled and dimed to death. It's common to Dem. Mayors and Governors, see CA, Il, NY etc. Republican governors LOWER taxes and lower expenses and their states are busy and have lower unemployment rates. Now, certainly WE can see the correlation, why can't the left? Oh, right, they want the hard working to "pay their fair share" so they can continue to spend over 70% of their revenues on entitlements. That doesn't leave much left over for other spending.

Welcome back over to the small government way of thinking. We thought we lost you for a minute.
