To be fair, his point is totally valid: sales tax should be included in the sticker price.

That wasn't his point; his point was that there should be no taxes. However, putting taxes on the price tag would be a win-win.
-
Yep, agree tax should be on the price tag; but the jump from that to small government, low-tax Republicanism is what is being targeted.
-
Sorry, I was being facetious. I know what his actual point was :/
-
Oh, sorry! I misread that tweet entirely - my bad :)
-
Wait, sales tax is added on top of displayed ticket prices in Merica?
-
Yes - gets me every time I visit - I know it's so, but I always forget.
-
Yep, and yes, we never know what the total will be until we check out. Murca!

Maybe she should use that $35 towards the cost of her health care instead of buying some fancy guitar.
-
Yes. Buying a guitar instead of saving this for the potential of future illness is hardly a good demonstration of personal responsibility.
-
Honestly I would have invested in some avacado flavored toast, but diversification of assets is important in an uncertain economy.

Good one
Do you have any other stock tips?

how many people in the thread pointed out that its ridiculous that grover is having his 8 year old daughter save up to buy things
-
It's not - I saved up for an entire NES. But a $35 guitar isn't the right one for anyone, specially a beginner.
-
Agreed -- at $35 it must be like...a Guitar Hero guitar-shaped game controller.
-
Or a used guitar that doesn't have sales tax
-
It's as if you're suggesting this didn't actually happen.... -
I think the real sad thing here is that she had $35, not enough for the guitar + tax, and Grover probably didn't give her the spare bucks
