Comment on Push to eliminate sales tax on food and groceries in Missouri runs into resistance

Regressive taxes are the name of the game. Tax the poors and get them pay for the government.

That is all tariffs are as well. A regressive tax that the poor pay. They had been trying to ram through a flat tax which would do the same thing for years and now they are doing it underhandedly with tariffs.

That is why the Republicans aren’t throwing a fit, because it is secretly exactly what they have always wanted.
