I grew up in NM and we had sales tax on everything. Then after high school I moved to PA, got a job at a Sheetz and we had archaic cash registers where you entered the item cost and tax or no tax. there were some foods taxed, some not. Residents knew, i had no clue.
New mexico eliminated sales tax on groceries in 2004.
And I left the state before that.
Not that I'm against this but it's going to come out of something the government does for people. But then again with no education dept maybe it won't matter anyway.
Some states that already don't have sales tax off set it by having higher income or property taxes.
Ahh... so it looks like a slight of hand then to me. Thanks for the clarification.
With something like a +100% inflation in recent years removing a 5% tax doesn't even help much
Oklahoma, Kansas and Virginia have all eliminated their state tax on groceries in recent years, and Illinois and Arkansas expect to do the same at the start of next year.
It comes to over 10% where I am
Good. Ideally, food would be guaranteed. This is the next best thing we can do.
Before Trump kills income tax and cranks federal sales tax to 20%
