   What’s the purpose of a sales tax holiday? It perversely provides the least benefit to those who need tax relief the most, and the most benefit to those who need it least.

   Don’t forget that many stores have sales before and after the sales tax holidays. They’re often much better than the sales tax relief.

   Actually, given the regressive nature of a sales tax, I would think that it would provide the most help to those with the least.

   MW, why doesn’t it help poor people when things cost less? Doesn’t sales tax hurt those least able to pay?

   Sales tax holidays — and of course, the comparable sales — are perfect for those who have limited income but still need to buy the necessary back-to-school supplies and clothing for their kids.

   Massachusetts is August 11th and 12th…

   I think I might be buying an LCD for the bedroom and will ‘penalize’ myself buy throwing in the tax I would have spent, multiplied by two into our brokerage account.
