Local officials pushed back this week against a Missouri Senate bill that would end both state and local sales tax on food and grocery items.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.
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.
