1) Exempt from sales tax? [by David Dunn on March 5, 2008]
No flat tax should allow any exemptions. The state 6% sales tax should be applied equitably across the board. Charity gambling, casino gambling, selling race horses--all should have to pay the state's flat 6% rate sales tax.

Exemptions such as this is why Social Security is in such a financial bind. It has an upper limit. It's a flat tax too, and it should be applied equitably to all monies.
