NC tax bill closes some loopholes, preserves others

"RALEIGH — Chiropractors are losing a sales tax break that may increase the cost of vitamins and other nutritional supplements for their patients. Newspapers would have to charge sales tax to subscribers or those who buy from vending machines. And sales tax holidays for school supplies and energy-efficient appliances would disappear.

But still on the books is a $1,500 cap on the sales tax for a yacht or a jet, a provision that costs the state $10 million a year in lost revenue. Beer, liquor and tobacco distributors would keep their rebates worth a combined $12 million annually for collecting taxes from their customers on behalf of the state. Country clubs and other recreational nonprofits keep their exemption from the corporate income tax, a tax break worth a combined $600,000 a year."

Snip....

and vomit!

college students. . . up taxes on poor and middle class . . cut taxes for the 1% . . . women no choice . . unemployment . . .jobs . . . Medicaid . . unions . . .

This is what NC voted for and to my understanding like WI, MI and other goper run states, the governors lied to win votes and then turned around and fucked their people.
