So true, Pete! I am much more likely to take advantage of cheap gas in NJ than to buy $110+ clothing when visiting the Garden State!
well, that is NJ’s reasons for being broker than NY.
I’ve always said if raised their gas tax to what everyone else pays…they’d solve their budget problem pronto.
Ok…apologies for starting a semi-serious topic in the OT Lounge 🙂 Now it’s time for sheet shopping and a final head check. Later!
IMO, the only thing worse than an Ed Hardy shirt is a Von Dutch. (insert barfing noise here)
“Seriously though, don’t all you rich brownstone owners wear like uber expensive 150 dollar t-shirts?!”
My t-shirt of choice is the plain white v-necked Banana Republic tee. Do jackholes still spend a shitload of money on those Ed Hardy shirts or have they finally realized how laughingly ugly they are?
No sales tax on clothing and shoes that cost less than $110. There is a county tax in Nassau on clothing so I think it costs 4 percent to shop in Roosevelt Field rather than in the city limits.
Well if it turns out to be $.01 per oz or the flat 18% (finally figured out the math on that!), it’s a very nominal tax that will hurt no one. I’d even support either of those tax options (if a tax must be levied at all). The gas you’d burn to save on some soda would be foolish and a total loss (unless you fill up the trunk and back seat to the point where your car is sagging ghetto style).
“Benson, there’s no sales tax on clothing in NYC.”
Incorrect. There is no sales tax on clothing under $110, which is why folks go to Jersey to buy big-ticket items: suits, evening gowns, etc.
“Benson, there’s no sales tax on clothing in NYC.”
Under $110 right? They’re considering getting rid of that too
