Thought that was interesting. Sales tax, unlike income tax, treats every consumer fairly. Unless you are using government assistance, apparently.

Yeah. They also have two transactions. One where you shrimp, filets and the cups for the party. Another where you buy $150 in liquor for the party with cash.

You people criticize ebt but it really is a good program that benefits children mostly. You oughta see the smiles on my kids faces when I whip out the la purchase and say we're going to Tony's for boiled crawfish. They can't load up in the escalade fast enough!

You aren't thinking about this the correct liberal way.

People who are unfortunate enough to have little to no income through no fault of their own shouldn't have to pay tax at all. A sales tax is unfair because they would be paying a larger fraction of their income than you rich entitled people do.

The new EBT card is slightly over sized and won't fit in my Gucci wallet.

My friend owns a convience store.
Prepared foods you can use an EBT.
(Hotdogs, notucheeze, donuffins)
Ice cups, soft purple dranks, potatoe chips, and candy.

He says they magically find money for liquor which on a Sat or Sunday they come back 3 to 5 times to buy beer and cigars.

Funny that adds up quick and he was thinking maybe if they spent their money wisely they would not needz guberment assistanz.

They wouldn't actually be paying the tax, they would just be shuffling tax dollars to pay sales tax.

EBT is as much of a subsidy to the grocers that accept it as it is to the recepients that use it

Of course, purchases made with EBT cards do not pay sales tax. In fact, nobody pays sales in Louisiana on most items at grocery stores.

Good. Why we would retax tax revenue?

Make sense I guess, if you can't afford to buy your own groceries, might as well not saddle you with more debt you can't pay

The government would be taxing itself.
