Comment on Push to eliminate sales tax on food and groceries in Missouri runs into resistance
thesmokingman@programming.dev 4 days agoYeah fuck the bill’s sponsor and her desire to reduce costs for a family of four by $50 every month
State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, an Arnold Republican, said the bill is an attempt to increase affordability for Missourians as prices rise.
“Missourians are paying more and more for necessities,” Coleman said. “Most of us agree fundamentally that essential services should not be funded on the backs of the poor.”
Coleman said a family of four would save $54 per month with the removal of grocery sales tax.

It’s nice to try to reduce the cost for the citizens but with less tax money some other tax needs to be increased or some service will have to save money.

Easy, take some of the taxes that’s going to the police and do something useful with them
