I have no real problem with a "luxury" tax, too.
Cell Phones for instance? Noop
Cell phones with camera's all the "apps?" Yup.
Basic 19" TV's? Noop.
Large screen LED/LCD things that cover an entire wall? Yup.
Chevy's? Noop. They are already sorry for buying them.
Cadillac's, BMW's, Mercedes' and the like? Yup.


Already taken care of. If the poor guy buys a $400 dollar TV he has
already paid the tax on the $400. If the rich guy buy a $4000 TV, he
has already paid the taxes on the $4000.

It is only important that each of the dollars in the $400 has been taxed
at a rate equal to those in the $4000.
