PA. House voted today to exempt the purchase of personal and corporate aircraft from State tax

[JPZenger]

If you buy a cheap used car, the state makes sure you pay state tax.

However, the full PA. House voted today on a major tax giveway, at a time of severe budget cuts. The PA. House voted for a proposed law that would allow the 1% to buy a Lear Jet to fly on their vacations to visit their money hidden in the Cayman Islands, they don't have to pay any state sales tax. The sales tax exemption would apply for any aircraft for personal or business use,

Here's an article that describes the impact of this proposed law.

1. Do you know if this has been passed by the Senate yet?

This is sickening. They'll have to cut more funding from education, the social safety net, public transportation and infrastructure repair for yet another giveaway to the top 1%.

That's fix everything.

3. Well, kudos to the House! If I ever am in the market for a jet,

I will be grateful that I will be able to buy it tax-free.

Bastards! I can't even buy a canoe without paying sales tax on it. Could they be more transparent if they tried???? They are only looking out for the wealthy, and the rest of us can go screw ourselves.
