- MadSudaca 4y agoWe’d need to collect tons of taxes just to pay for the bureaucracy needed to not tax anything considered essential to human life.
- pessimizer 4y agoIf we'd just provide health care free at the point of service, we wouldn't have to worry about the taxes.
- pensatoio 4y agoI agree, but so is food. Good luck convincing the govt to draw that line.
- andai 4y agoFirst 2000 calories, tax free! (Once everything is cashless they'll know exactly what you're eating anyway.)
- sudosysgen 4y agoIf it didn't imply giving the government so much information, that would actually be a great program.
- therealdrag0 4y agoFree meal replacement by mail. Huel, Soylent etc. ;)
- chockablock 4y agoIn the US most states (37/50) don’t have sales tax on groceries. Also food bought with SNAP benefits (food stamps) is exempt from sales tax in all states.
- pensatoio 4y agoLeft that out for brevity, but good point. I suppose I'm trying to highlight that you could categorize a lot of things as essential (see the last two years.)
