        ~ let's say a bottle of Head and Shoulders and a box of Tampons both cost 4.99. A customer will pay the same for both products~

        Tampons aren't taxed more than say, a bottle of Head and Shoulders. In NJ, the tax rate is 7%. So for the sake of argument~

        I don't understand why people are mad about tampons being taxed. Anything that isn't food or clothing is taxed at the same rate.

        Actually, computers and cars used for various 'business purposes' can be excluded from taxation. Tampons not so much.
