i believe there will be NO SALES TAX on anything up to $2,500 or something on that.

if you have been wanting to make that major purchase, THIS SATURDAY is the day to do it!

1. Attn Delaware DUers: This Saturday along with the rest of the year....
is Tax Free day. So unless you're buying a car (2.25%) all of your purchases will be tax free. Yes, I know sin tax on booze and cigerettes but lets face it - the other states drive to Delaware to buy their sin products here

:P

2. Jesus Matt!
Romney was on wbz this morning with the most condescending hype about this tax free business..."we don't want your money...go out and spend, spend, spend...pile up some more credit card debt." He is such a supersillious prick! Anyway, if you want to get away from taxes, come to NH! :hi:

4. I find it funny that the Commonwealth can afford to . . .

charge no sales tax for a day (estimated 6 to 10 million dollars in revenue), but somehow they can't afford an increase in the hourly rate paid to attorneys who act as public defenders.

We're having to let accused criminals walk without charges because they can't pay defense attornies, but we'll give up 6-10 million in revenue in a single day. . . . well done.

Besides, I do 90% of my shopping for larger items in New Hampshire, every day is tax free there.
