You pay tax on food? You should be going after the politicians
that tax you for eating. That is disgusting. Pay tax or die!

Food is taxed in Tennessee as well.

Florida has a population of 26,000,000+.
Missouri has a population 6,000,000+
Tennessee has a population of 7,000,000+

Florida can afford to forgo a food tax with that many people.

26 million people need healthcare, police, fire department, road
maintenance etc. Tennessee only has to look after 7 million people.

Scale is ITRRELEVANT past a million, ya juddering Oztarded dotlhead.

Food tax is regressive; it hits the poorest people the hardest.
Income tax can be scaled so that the poor aren't taxed out of
proportion.

Joan and Leo will think you're a communist for saying that.

You smooch up real fine, komrade Oztard.
