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!

I 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.

We pay to many taxes on everything. If we could get rid of personal property tax would be even better

Missouri 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.

Missouri 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.

We 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

Sales 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.

You know who this really helps? The grocery stores and owners because 1% of millions in sales is a lot of money. But 1% for regular people spending money at the grocery will cost more for the state and it's services than any one of us will actually save at the store. Heck, I'll pay your 1% myself.

They will pay more eventually. The state can't afford to keep losing revenue. Our infrastructure and schools are garbage, farmers are struggling, and crime in metro areas is out of hand. 1% will do nothing. 1% of 300 is 3 dollars, that won't even buy you a soda anymore. Fix our state instead!

This would cripple local governments reliant on sales tax for roads and police

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.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.
