Only in America: Tax-Free MacBooks for Patriotic Backpackers
Only in America could buying a $2,499 MacBook get you hyped about a sales tax holiday, where states like Florida and Massachusetts offer tax-free back-to-school shopping on computers and supplies. According to the report, Florida's tax holiday 'covers eligible clothing, shoes, accessories, school supplies, and computers that cost less than $1,500,' while Massachusetts lets shoppers snag laptops up to $2,500 tax-free. Meanwhile, the government thinks losing $1.3 billion in state revenue on these holidays is patriotic sacrifice. Back in my day, we'd call this freedom â eagle-worthy moments when real Americans keep more of their cash for apple pie and ammo.
