Very true. Socks will cost $600 in a few years.

yes, adjust for inflation

Here's a thought: set the de minimis exemption equal to whatever the largest individual tax burden thus far was & keep moving it up each year if necessary. That way almost everyone should at least be able to pay their taxes without being taxed even more.

This is sausage making a bit, but the previous levels were meant to be the same as the foreign currency exemption. It’s obviously not the same thing, and deserves a *very high* threshold, if at all
