re: #241 ausador

As I said, we are generalizing, and my primary point was that lower income people tend to spend less wisely, as a whole, and particularly if they receive assistance. Therefore that long ago original post that suggested they would be hardest hit with a sales tax (which could easily exclude food as it does now) is an over simplification.

As far as our relative experiences go, I can say that I see people buying what I consider a personal luxury, live blue crab, with food stamps all the time, but that is not my only example by any means. To be fair, that is probably a normal weekly fare. If they have the money, what’s the big deal? /

Now, getting back to the jerk bit… a knee jerk perhaps?
