What "old fashioned ideas"?

Someone suggested Sunday shopping would lead to a tax revenue 
windfall for the government. I pointed out there likely would 
not be any tax revenue windfall. 

Most people are on a fixed income. Unless they have access to a 
growing number of credit cards, the amount of money they can 
spend, disposable income, is also largely fixed. They won't 
necessarily spend more just because certain stores are open on 
Sunday. Sure, some people, knowing they can shop on Sunday, MAY 
keep some funds in reserve when they're out partying on Friday 
and/or Saturday night, so they can shop on Sunday, but don't 
count on it. 

The bottom line is retail sales won't take a big jump just 
because more stores are open on Sunday.
