    Lol this is just a joke… Food should have always been completely tax free! Two weeks?!? What kind of circus is this?? Is he trying to buy votes for $250/pop? I’m amazed at what they come up with next.

      Real food is… beer and candy always has tax on them, and rightfully so considering the burden they cause on our healthcare system.

        Yes, I agree on the alcohol tax re. Healthcare costs. However, I ferment my own drinks and I’d like to point out the irony of buying raw ingredients + yeast, vs buying a prepared drink. It’s like you are getting taxed for convenience as a deterrent.
