That’s outrageous! What a flagrant abuse of a system that was set up to help people.

Clearly, it is time for the federal government to step in and close the “coupon loophole” immediately.

I shall be writing my congress-critter a letter this very day.

My wife likes Aleve so one day I bought a whole bunch of them at the grocery store. The bill was real low but the customer behind me, who looked like an angry gym teacher, grumbled about how I was somehow cheating the government. Huh? I pointed out to him that the coupons were issued by a private company. However, that didn’t mollify him. He got himself all worked up about how I was somehow cheating the taxpayers by using coupons. BTW, even when you get stuff FREE with coupons, you still have to pay the tax on the full pre-coupon amount. Of course, since we don’t pay sales tax on medical stuff (or food) in Florida, no tax on the Aleve.
