Where in the US do you live that food doesn't get taxed? I know there are a few states that don't impose a state tax on food, but that doesn't account for local jurisdictions.
I'm not saying you're wrong or that food should be taxed. I'm just genuinely curious where in the US has no tax on food.
Mississippi and Alabama have the highest taxes on food in the US, I think. I grew up down there and once a month we would drive an hour to cross the border into a different state to buy groceries. Most states have lower food taxes, but MS and AL tax food just as high as everything else. Seems like something that would happen in California or NY or Massachusetts, not Alabama and Mississippi.
Anyway, I was just curious. And jealous. Mostly jealous. But a little curious, too. 😁
Washington and Oregon don’t tax groceries.
32 states and Washington dc does not tax food at grocery. My receipt does not show a federal tax on my grocery.
