Get Rid of Sales Taxes on Groceries

I'd like to weigh in on the proposal to take sales taxes off of groceries in Oklahoma.

You betcha.

Not only does the tax on groceries hit the poorest the hardest, but the case for keeping the tax automatically assumes that the money saved by anyone, rich or poor, will not be spent.

That's a stupid argument. Sooner or later the state will get its cut of the revenues, and if the money helps the economy, the likelihood is that tax revenues will grow, later if not sooner.

It's the moral thing to do.
