Because with prices going up on everything else thanks to Mr. Biden we need a break . We pay enough as it is now. So we don't need to pay more sales tax on food. People are having a hard time already.

We should NOT be taxed on essential needs, this means living should not be taxed. We should tax non essential items. That's why we struggle. It almost gives us a break.

A core necessity shouldn't be taxed. Alternatively, you could limit the tax to the wealthy. Removing this tax will help the poor and struggling households.

This would be a good thing, but counties and cities would have to follow suit, to make it work. The out the door tax, for most cities, is about 4.2%. That includes state, county, and city taxes. Missouri can be better than that.

Many states don't have sales tax on food or prescription drugs. Missouri should step up to that higher standard. And the counties and cities should also step up to that standard as well. Most of us currently pay about 4.75% on food, and 7.75% for taxable items, look at your next grocery receipt.

Many states don't have tax on food, or prescription drugs. I am sad to say, that most of those states, are liberal. One of the few things liberal states do, that is better.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.

Missouri should enforce strict laws against animal abuse—because any society that calls itself evolved must protect the voiceless. Cruelty tolerated is cruelty normalized, and no state that values progress can afford that.

Yes the voiceless, to include humans as well. Babies need voices as well.

Currently, MO is the country's leader in puppy mills. Punish these horrible monsters who traffic in the misery of poor animals!

Dogs are the most loyal animals and love you unconditionally no matter how they are treated and it is just heartbreaking to see them mistreated or abused!

Missouri has been notorious for puppy mills that sell sick puppies and treat dogs horrible.

Because we need to be advocates for the animals that get taken advantage of. They can’t fight for them for themselves. Some humans are very cruel

Totally agree, look at how we treat our children in the womb as if they are a burden when actually its us who didn't take accountability for our own actions. Humans are selfish and cruel.

I think the more pertinent question would be should dogs and other domesticated animals kept as pets be considered property or have other more humane rights? This has nothing to do with breeding. The dogs were neglected and suffered immensely.

We need more room fulls of people in J.C. working out the details of sports betting, thereby sending exponentially more people into compulsive gambling, and eventually bankruptcy. To hell with protecting the innocent animals.
