Well, we've all heard the meme from the rich "that if we only let them keep more of their money, it will trickle down"

Well finally there is some proof;

At $110 + per gallon this smart entrepreneur is getting some of the
Moron rich to spend their money on something they can get for free.

FYI - a have saltwater fishtanks and have several friend in the great NY area who literally keep upwards of $10,000 worth of fish and corals. In this hobby we spend around $1000 per year on test equipment to assure water quality. NY has some of the best water quality out of the tap in the country.

On the political note - WHY should things like this NOT carry a %100 luxury tax?

because there is little upside in creating a disincentive to this type of 'luxury'.

if you called it a Stupid Tax I might go along with it. Depends on my mood.
