I kind of agree, not many people are in situation where they cannot afford American girl doll but still are willing and able to pay substantial (compared to other available new dolls) amount for them. You may be lucky on Facebook marketplace before Xmas especially if you have the original packaging.

Reason being if we make x- non necessity more expensive with taxes less people will own it. If only rich people own horses the lesser chance is that they will need to use public services for it.

People owning dogs and cats or actually any other animal should be required to commit to taxation. Majority of cat or dog owners are unable to pay $100 extra for vaccinations or vet visit. Vets often have to euthanize animals because owners leave them at the clinic and cannot pay even for a simple $200-$400 procedure. I’m so grateful that before going to vet school my parents had me volunteer at the vets office, this explains high suicide rates among veterinary staff.
