This Is A Good Idea: Tax Free Weekend

This weekend, in Florida, they are not going to charge a sales tax on school supplies.
From the Orlando Sentinel: There will be no sales taxes on most school supplies that sell for $15 or less. Clothing, footwear and some accessories — as long as each item or pair of shoes costs $75 or less — are exempt. The tax break goes for many types of clothing — not just children's.
The fine print of what does and doesn't get taxed can get a little confusing. Taxes do apply to computer and printer paper but not notebook paper. Shoppers will pay tax on cosmetic bags but not diaper bags. And you'll still have to pay a tax on thread, buttons, tape, iron-on patches and zippers.

Not only will this help poorer kids and families it will also help the businesses that sell school supplies.
Let's try this in Nevada and elsewhere.
