False, EBT transactions do not pay sales tax.


Right. Govt purchases are usually exempt from taxes. It's counterproductive for govt to tax govt.

I use to work in a grocery store several years ago. Just as many whites on fs than blacks. I remember one family of whites the mother and several adult daughters were on fs. It's like its a learned condition

Isn't EBT funded at the federal level? If that's the case than it's certainly lost revenue at the state and local level.

Exactly. So why make it about anything? SJW implies Democrat. Black implies Democrat. My point, my ONLY point was White Republican voters are as poor, as on the till as any race and on and on.

So yes, it's not a race thing or a party thing. It's way deeper.

Yes, but it's administered at the state level so there is shared cost

I used to work at a grocery store. I'm 100% sure food stamp and WI purchases are tax free.

That's actually not true. Dems are more than twice as likely to be on food stamps

Republican 10%
Democrat 22%

The OP was talking about a statement made by a person, not recipients. You made it about race
