I’m not from the US, but according to this source, only Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon don’t have sale taxes. Which means, if I’m not mistaken, that at most only about 2.5% of the US population can realistically never pay taxes (percentage of us pop. per states from Wikipedia)

Unless you’re in a country/state with no VAT/sale taxe, the child will inevitably pay taxes.

In French, baguette means “long stick”. The bread name comes from this meaning, as it is a long, thin kind of bread :) We also call drum sticks “baguette”, as well as anything wooden, long and thin, like a conductor baton or a magic wand!
