Backlash over new regulation classifying tampons as a cosmetic product

[Gsxrnz]

We are in a period of excessive taxation. Governments pull our strings attempting to get even more blood from a stone. This proposed tampon tax is a bloody minded example of cyclical pain inflicted by vampires who wish to cramp the style of those of us that seek a no strings attached solution to society's depression and anger. I predict a crimson wave of protest will come gushing forth if this tax is inserted into the glory hole of legislation.

 

On a side note - perhaps tampons should receive the same taxation rate as razors and toilet tissues.  All are desirable, but none are essential. A sharp knife replaces the former, a large banana tree leaf (or similar) replaces the latter.  As to the tampon - cork?

What "proposed tampon tax"?

 

There is no "proposed tampon tax".

 

There is the mistaken "widespread belief that [tampons]...would be subject to 30% tax."
