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.

Yes it is inevitable, it will continue until ICE is stopped. Honestly I thought would happen sooner.

Ice will not be stopped, they will just get better tools, and use them sooner.

January 6, 2021 was insurrection ... citizens protesting government overreach and invasion of their neighborhoods by unknown masked men in battle fatigues & assault weapons is NOT!

As long as violent protesters are blocking federal agents from doing their jobs , it will continue.

It will continue as long as ICE and DHS continue to use excessive force!

There is an anti-American movement that's gained momentum over the past few years. And with the discovery of mass corruption, such as in Minneapolis, those profiting from those activities are going to fight back, hard.

The new agents aren't properly trained and they have zero accountability!

While the liberals/socialists/communists/democrats continue the narrative of victimization, they will find useful idiots to carry out their agenda. This poor woman believed the lies and lost her life.

The violence is from the Left. Trump, and Americans want Law and Order.

Masked secret police roaming the streets with no accountability would have never been accepted in America in the past. If they themselves weren't ashamed of there actions, they wouldn't be wearing masks. Our democracy is spiraling the drain!

Until politicians in both parties quit making inflammatory statements, it will continue.

Children are not the property of the State. Their safety belongs to their loving parents, not to a politician.

This new guideline will only benefit the big insurance companies as they will no longer have to cover the cost of the vaccines.
