Reply #12: They must think used items will go blackmarket anyway, [View All]

so why bother to write a law that is unenforcable.

I wonder how a no used tax would work regarding collectables, such as high priced antiques, fine musical instruments and fine art? Seems like this could be a loophole/tax cut for both the poor (second hand purchasers) and the rich (collectors) but help the middle class the least.

They need to have no tax on grocery foods (restaurants are another matter), possibly no utilities tax and no rent/mortgage tax.

Then the tax actually would be relatively progressive.
