re: #395 wrenchwench

So much for my 10 minute analysis.

I thought the testimony they gave about repealing the sales tax in Rhode Island was interesting, but I did notice they don’t talk about the regressivity of a sales tax.

Alabama’s isn’t regressive—it’s reactionary. By keeping a 9-11% sales tax on food, we turn Yankee SNAP dollars into Alabama revenue. Who said the poor and their EBTs aren’t useful?
