I disagree. Basic necessities should never be taxed. Basic Food, Clothing, Medicine, and charity should not be taxed. To levy a tax is to try and destroy or penalize something. By lowering or removing a tax altogether the government is encouraging the activity or production of the item. It is truly immoral to try and destroy or penalize basic necessities of life by any government.

One of the very few things that NJ does do right is that there is no tax on basic food and clothing.

Flat tax for all of the rest I agree with.

There is certainly more than enough to be taxed by eliminating those basic exceptions.

basic food and clothing....What is that ? Cornmeal and oat meal and pork or beef or lamb? I’m just wondering. What is basic? Cotton clothing? Silk? YOU tell me. Not picking an argument. You brought it up.
