Pennsylvania Sales Tax Exemptions
There has been some discussion lately about filling the Pennsylvania budget hole with additional revenue by expanding the state sales tax to include currently exempt goods, services, or categories. While past proposals have suggested expanding the sales tax base to lower the rate, or to reduce or eliminate property taxes, the idea is now being used simply to collect more taxes from Pennsylvania residents and businesses, adding to the state's already high tax burden.
For reference here is a complete list of Pennsylvania sales tax exemptions, with the estimated value of the exemption (2007-08 numbers from the Governor's Executive Budget).

NB. Could not help but notice that the Gov is intrigued by the beer tax that his friend Dan Onorato imposed on Allegheny County. They should be looking at special interest exemptions like the film credit - not broad based taxes on working families.
