Cutting taxes does not help the poor, especially 1%. It will cost the state lost revenue that they will make up through sales taxes elsewhere. The only winners are the grocery store owners, because 1% off millions in profit is a big amount. But 1% off a 2-300 grocery bill is 2 or 3 dollars, nothing.

The sales tax is on food is not 1%, but you are not wise enough to know that. Everything you say substantiates your knowledge.

You obviously havnt looked at a 2 or 3 hundred dollar food receipt lately have you lol?? that tax bill is more like 20 to 30 dollars not just 2 or 3 dollars.. Your fuzzy math and exaggerations are way off and do not compute bud sorry .. Get your facts straight.
I'm taxed on everything I buy after I'm already taxed on everything I earn, not to mention property and personal property taxes. We are getting taxed to death!
ReplyI believe they should as the cost of groceries keeps getting higher but peoples pay doe snot. The exception should be that tax will be still valid in deli and bakery items as they are ready made. You could do the tax like the assistance programs and have things that are not tax free.
ReplyWe pay to many taxes on everything. If we could get rid of personal property tax would be even better
ReplyWe are taxed enough in this state. We need to get rid of alot more of them
ReplyIt would help low income people like me & my wife ..
ReplyI mean what, they are going to somehow offer me less in this state as a taxpaying citizen.
ReplyTo help offset the cost of living and inflation
ReplyYes cause we are taxed on everything else. Property taxes, etc . State gets enough of our money as it is .
ReplyMissouri can recoup it loss in revenue from marijuana sales pretty easily. The mid to lower class could use all the help feeding our families that we can get.
ReplyMissouri needs to get with the program. 32 or 33 other states have no tax on groceries. Of course taxes should still apply on things like restaurant purchases, alcohol, tobacco, etc.; but everyday food necessities, no. ...and while they are at it, need to take a look at the tax on clothing.
ReplyWe are literally taxed on EVERYTHING including death. Its high time the taxpayers got a break on taxes. Along with this, the current taxation system needs to eliminated and there needs to be a tax reform where everyone pays a ten percent flat tax that evens out that tax burden
ReplySales tax on food, discriminates unfairly against low income, and people on fixed incomes, like retired people. These people spend the highest ratio of their income on food.
ReplyI’m from Colorado and we didn’t pay sales tax on food. I’m used to it
