Because with prices going up on everything else thanks to Mr. Biden we need a break . We pay enough as it is now. So we don't need to pay more sales tax on food. People are having a hard time already.

We should NOT be taxed on essential needs, this means living should not be taxed. We should tax non essential items. That's why we struggle. It almost gives us a break.

A core necessity shouldn't be taxed. Alternatively, you could limit the tax to the wealthy. Removing this tax will help the poor and struggling households.

No, Mark. Taxing the wealthy only leads to price increases for everyone else. The wealthy (job creators) keep making a profit by raising prices when taxes go up. And they should try to make a profit, because that's how jobs are created. Don't buy into the old democrat lie of class warfare!

This would be a good thing, but counties and cities would have to follow suit, to make it work. The out the door tax, for most cities, is about 4.2%. That includes state, county, and city taxes. Missouri can be better than that.

Many states don't have sales tax on food or prescription drugs. Missouri should step up to that higher standard. And the counties and cities should also step up to that standard as well. Most of us currently pay about 4.75% on food, and 7.75% for taxable items, look at your next grocery receipt.

Many states don't have tax on food, or prescription drugs. I am sad to say, that most of those states, are liberal. One of the few things liberal states do, that is better.

When you get a drivers license, you should also be administered a CCW and a 9mm.

No, because blue states give "illegal aliens" drivers licenses, without even having to take a test. Then they use the drivers licenses, as proof to vote.

60 Missouri Peace Officers Associations wanted to enforce illegal Federal Firearm Laws. More than 540 Missouri Peace Officers Associations disagreed. This is an attempt to override the 2nd Amendment. It's time to punish criminals, not law abiding Americans. Lets get rid of this phony administration.

It is the common sense answer, and the humanity based answer. Joe won't do it though. He stands to lose to much personal income.

We only bring in 3% of our fuel from Russia. The gas price hike is not because of the lies politicians are pushing.

We need to force oil prices upwards in order to unite behind the president's plan to ensure we all must purchase $60,000.00 electric vehicles, preferably non-American made,

Joe would demand we buy them from his blood brother, and joint businessman Xi Jinping. That way Joe gets his 10%.
