Cut in Sales Tax

State legislators and the governor are fighting over possible reductions to the auto license fees or income tax. However, because these taxes are deductible for federal income tax purposes, about 30% of a cut in either of these taxes will end up in the hands of the federal government.

Let them instead cut our outrageous sales tax. Then, all of the tax savings will go to the people who live and spend money in California. We will benefit every time we buy anything subject to sales tax. Even a temporary reduction in our 8.25% tax would be welcome, and we should let politicians know it.
