U.S., Florida flags aren't taxed
I'm sorry I have to write about this, but on April 26, I went to a local chain store to buy an American flag. The price was $9.99 for a 3- by 5-foot flag, and that was fine. But the cashier wanted to charge me tax. I'm a World War II veteran and have bought many flags since 1946 and never had to pay tax. The cashier called the manager, and he said the flag was taxable. I refused to buy it. A couple of years ago I bought one and did not have to pay tax. I just want to know if it is taxable. A lot of men died for the American flag. Art O'Keefe
