In response to "California legislature is considering bill to remove the sales tax on diapers." by Meg

I was just reading about taxes being removed on tampons. This seems like a similar movement

a cost that most everyone has to bear and shouldn't be taxes imo.

Yup, all feminine hygiene products. It's about time for that too. Not sure I agree with the diapers though. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 18:05 4
- Right? Remove the tax on *condoms* -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 18:06 3
  - See below. -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 18:07 2
    - Sorry, I skipped reading your post because I was washing my hair. -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 18:08 1
      - Good point. Soap and shampoo should also be tax free. - Spawn Aug 11, 18:21
That was also mentioned but not in the current bill. Concept is that necessities should not be taxed. -- nm - Meg Aug 11, 18:04 6
- I get that thinking and mostly agree but with diapers it's not a lifetime of buying them and there's another option like reusable cloth. - Krusty Aug 11, 18:08 5
  - Cloth diapers are expensive. - Spawn Aug 11, 18:22 4
    - One of my clients uses them but I've never asked how well they work. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 11, 18:30 3
      - Everyone I ask says they're great, but honestly - ain't nobody got time for that shit -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 18:36 2
        
        Literally -- nm - iSpam Aug 11, 18:46
        
        No doubt. The ease of using diapers is what I'd go with too. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 18:42
They should include birth control. - Spawn Aug 11, 18:03
