Get Rid of Sales Tax for Minors

Created by R.T. on November 14, 2012

Minors should not have to pay sales tax. Children under 18 have no regular income and very little money, so there should not be any sales tax for them, just like there is no income tax for unemployed adults. Think of a little kid, like 7 year old, trying to buy candy at a store, and not having enough money to purchase the candy because of the sales tax. "No taxation without representation" was one of the causes of the Revolutionary War, which created this free country, and now the government is going back on that, taxing minors without a giving them a representative in congress. There would be less money for the government to spend if minors did not pay sales tax, but that would teach the government to be more careful with their money and to not spend in frivolously.
