If I heard correctly a radio newscast but a few minutes removed from when I'm composing this question, there's a proposal in my state's legislature that would revoke the current sales tax on menstrual products. Are tampons santiary napkins, and the like subject to sales tax in your state or province?

I'm sympathetic to the removal of the tax, as it's on necessary products for many citizens of my state. However, that tax accrues million$ of dollar$ in revenue for my state, and I live in one with a governmor who's anything but frugal. Where do you stand in the debate between the aquisition of revenue from a tax on menstrual products or revokig the tax because of the nature of the products being taxed?

In what might not best be euphemized as a pink tax, but rather a brown and/or yellow one, diapers, I believe, are also subject to sales tax in my state. What with a declining birth rate throughout the United States that puts the nation on the brink of demographic winter--and the consequent insufficient funding of doubtless numerous state and federal so-called programs--I'd suppose the revenues from that tax aren't what they once were. But I'd suppose that's still a sizable revenue stream. If you do or were you to live in a state or province (or district, for D.C. Tw'ers) with sales tax on diapers, would you support its revocation because of the products' nature...or its continuation to fund government functions, however unconstitutional or not?
