Last night your Mom told me that she always told you to use your head for something other than to hang your ears on.

She's a fun one!

I agree OP, tax reform is needed to eliminate taxation of trumpets and other similar musical instruments made of brass should be abolished. I will die on that hill.

I thought it meant like a hard tax. Like when people say a person that "has the brass" to do something difficult.

I don't know. Brass tacks makes no sense to me either.

The phrase "get down to brass tacks" likely originated in the haberdashery trade in the mid-1800s, referring to the brass tacks used to mark precise measurements on fabric counters.
