72. Jeeze, I don't feed my kids 21, 18 and 16 fast food very
Edited on Fri Jul-15-11 09:54 PM by tnlefty
often, I cook, however, I bought them lunch today from a fast food restaurant, for the first time in years. I paid a sales tax (9.25%) on that order.

Do you live in a place where a sales tax doesn't apply to fast food purchases, but also to food from grocery stores, food produce stands, etc.?

I'll admit that I don't like the tax on food, but I live where I live, and I'm surrounded by stupid.

edited to add: I'm not saying that you're stupid, not my intent at all, but food taxes just bug me as they hit people who can least afford them, but pay dearly as a percentage of their income...
