[HarryChiling]

Oklahoma is lookign to exempt taxes for glasses for patients over the age of 65.

I don't think it's right to tax any medical device.

Hey Harry, kinda get the feeling I'm following you?

Connecticut does not tax medical devices.

Hell we even tax artificial eyes and groceries.

There is no tax on prescription glasses in Texas.

There are plenty of younger people that could use tax free eyeglasses in Oklahoma. Just because someone is over 65 doesn't mean they are poorer then younger people.

I agree with that! I have seen many a older folk *On a fixed income* cry poor mouth, who could easily buy and sell most anybody my age many times over!!!!!

Michigan doesn't tax glasses but they do contact lenses and frame only purchases. That may change as Michigan needs some cash.

Florida, no sales tax on Rx. Thank goodness.

True, but this demographic tends to vote more than younger people.

I'm all for tax-free eyewear for the over-65 group. Only if they also have to take an actual driving test every two years. Hand-eye coordination counts. Stopping at an intersection when you have the right-of-way is an automatic failure.

That is what they should be talking about instead of tax-free eyewear.
