I think they should tax all junk foods and make them unavailable for purchase with Food Stamps.
Fruits, veggies, meats and some spices should only be covered be the FS program.


then i guess there should be an across the board 50% increase in the amount of food stamps awarded

i think they should tax people butting into the lives of others and trying to they others how they should live their lives

One thing I remember. You can't purchase anything taxable with Food Stamps. So, if they tax junk foods that will eliminate those items from our tax burden.

What do you mean by "you can't purchase anything taxable with food stamps"?

They don't charge the patron taxes on food items purchased with food stamps.

that is not correct the tax is just not charged

and in texas all food has sales tax

so do they not have food stamps

you can by food that has tax they just do not apply the tax

in ohio there is already sales tax on soda (pop)

and it can be purchased with food stamps

Adj4u,

What do you mean by there's already a sales tax on soda? I thought that everything is taxed.

The sale of food or drinks served, prepared, or sold in or by restaurants, lunch counters, cafeterias, hotels, amusement parks, taverns, stadiums, theaters, or similar places of business is taxable, with few exceptions. Bottled water that contains flavoring or carbonation, or bottled drinking water that is included in the price of a meal is taxable.

now you interpret what is meant by food or drinks tongue2

I just looked over my HEB reciept and there is no tax on food items.
I figgure junk type items, soda, chips, ice cream, etc., are not necessary to sustain life.
If they tax sodas and other junk items, that would take them off our backs.
Don't want to come across as a BHO advocate but, he makes sence with this one.
I also wish he'd get that youth program going. He promished to whip thoses fat kids into a healthy shape.laugh

take another look at the bottom cause when i was in tx this winter heb charged tax on food items at the bottom of the receipt it will have an item marked tax you take that item and divid it by the total and see what you come up with and it should come out to you counties sales tax percentage

-------

and in ohio they do charge sales tax on soda and you can buy it on food stamps they just do not charge the tax to those on food stamps

Nope, no tax anywhere on my reciept.

Gonna' have cajun fried catfish for dinner. Wanna' come over and have some?:wink:
