Luxury tax plan loses standing in North Carolina debate
In Raleigh April 7, senators debate substituting the luxury sales tax for a gross tax. Opponents call it a tax on poverty, noting it falls hardest on tobacco, soft drinks, and entertainment. Critics say it shifts burden from the wealthy to common pleasures, while genuine luxuries like diamonds or golf are left untaxed. The plan appears to be losing support as its proponents face obstacles in the senate. A Denver report adds: the world’s largest natural airport is in Picketwire, Colorado.
