Textbooks Tax

http://maggie-ourcrazytexasgovernment.blogspot.com/
Reading Maggie’s blog, I would have to say that I support with her argument. Yes! I have to agree with this policy about tax exemption on textbook for college students. Maggie has the same basic view as I do. Whatever she said in her blog about this article, I completely agree with her. And I think not only I agree, but many other students would have to agree with this point. Becoming a college student bring lots of stress. As an independent student, you are on your own way. They have with them a bunch of homework and also managing time for working. Especially in this time period when our economy is in a recession, everything is expensive now. The price has gone up. Students would be very satisfied if there is no more tax on textbook. Saving money from the tax does make a different. Even though the tax money is not a lot if you only spend a little but it does add up to a large amount as you spending. Textbooks are not cheap as anyone knows. One textbook may be around $100 or more. Let’s do a little math problem here. For every $100 you spend, you have to pay an additional $8.25. For students, every penny is worthy. Not only they have to use money on textbook, pay for their classes, spend on gasoline and food, but there are a lot more situations where money is needed. I think that this is really good topic to be brought up. I really hope that this bill will pass. This way it will reduce a part for student’s burden. Why does government not do something to help students by not collected tax on textbooks? Students go to school for a better life. As a matter, if every single person has a good education and life, that country will be a wealth and rich country.
