Oh my gawd!<\/p>\n

Did you know that when the St. Margaret’s Episcopal School,the private school that State Senator Mimi Walters daughters attend, has a big fund-raiser at a tony restaurant, where the Governor comes, and there’s one of those 18% mandatory service charges instead of being able to figure out your own tip, did you know that the state charges you tax on the tip<\/b>?<\/p>\n

How unfair is that?<\/p>\n

Your friendly yacht party representative knows we need to have a law to fix this. <\/p>\n

You can’t make this shit up. There’s really a bill Mimi Walters introduced – SB 107 to eliminat taxes on mandatory service charges charged to non-profits for food and beverages.<\/a><\/p>\n

Can you believe that a legislative initiative as important as this was “Placed on  REV. & TAX. suspense file”?<\/p>\n

And that’s not the only huge problem in the tax code that Mimi’s trying to fix. Did you know that when you buy new car, and you have a trade-in, you pay taxes on the entire cost of the new car.
\n
Mimi has two bills to revive our moribund economy by giving you a break on the tax on your trade-in, and giving you an exemption on the car tax for the first year.<\/p>\n

You just know you were going to head on down to Fletcher Jones, but you didn’t want to pay that tax on your trade-in or pay that new higher Vehicle License Fee.<\/p>\n

Your modern Yacht Party at work. A Roadmap to Recovery, one tax cut at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
