If all we have is sales tax, how does that work with EBT and SNAP cards?

As an aside, I always love "Earned Credit Income".

"I did not have any income tax held from my pay check. I do not have to pay any income tax. I got a $X,XXX.XX income tax refund."

Yes, it is said the rich don't pay their fair share of income tax . . . but I would guess there are a far greater number of folks that don't pay any income tax. I suppose the sales tax could get some from them - except they are most likely "paying" for their purchase with my tax dollars anyway.

and while I am on a roll

The local college has an issue on the ballot. They have promised that my property taxes will not go up because some of the bonds will be paid off soon (which of course should allow my property taxes to go down). Why let my property taxes go down because some bonds will be paid off when it would be just as easy to borrow more money and keep my taxes at the same level (assuming my property taxes will be kept at the same level)? Finally why do you get a vote on my property taxes going up, when you don't have any property - meaning your taxes will not be going up any BECAUSE YOU DON'T PAY ANY PROPERTY TAXES???!!! (If you would like, I will try and explain to you why I am raising your rent.)

It is all true and if Harris get elected the abolition of rights will be completed.

What amazes me is I was talking to another business owner over the weekend. He immigrated to the US from Russia at 21. We started talking politics and he was so against Trump.

What I believe is that these immigrants came from countries that were so oppressive that even some rights to them are better than none that they had from the country they left.

I tried to make him understand that at some point this country will look like Russia.
