Obama hosted a series of interviews with YouTube personalities this afternoon, including one interview with Ingrid Nilsen, a woman who asked why tampons and pads for women were frequently taxed as a “luxury goods” in nearly 40 states.

“I don’t know anyone who has a period that thinks it’s a luxury,” Nilsen said. “It’s something that’s part of our everyday lives and is really crucial to our health as women.”  more

  1. I think its the bibles fault – The original Luxury tax – two turtle doves

    Lev 15: 28 When she becomes clean from her flow, she shall count seven days; after this she becomes clean.
    29 On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
    30 The priest shall offer one of them as a purification offering and the other as a burnt offering. Thus shall the priest make atonement before the LORD for her because of her unclean flow.

  2. You know, all the years I bought sanitary napkins and tampons, I never gave a thought to whether or not they were taxed. Even if I had, the tax probably came to about a quarter a month, so why would I care?

    These people have too much free time.

  3. It’s not an “extra” tax, it’s just a sales tax (in every state I’m aware of). And yes, men’s products are subject to the same sales tax. If government truly had its way, there would be no exemptions on sales tax for food, medicine, etc. Then again, iOTW readers know that, it’s just the libtards who can’t figure it out.
