This will seem to make it very expensive to buy luxury items for anyone with a fixed income with 23% sales tax on every item. Does this tax apply to all goods like the basic foods and would it be over and above the already say 6 to 7.5 or so % the State of Florida and localities put on some items.

As far as I see it, if someone is on a fixed/lower income bracket, they shouldn't be buying "luxury" items anyway. Just a thought.
