Typical republican! Only interested in benefiting the rich and making life harder, if not altogether impossible, for the common citizen!

I am also pretty sure that most lower income people do not buy their groceries from Whole Foods, etc. I doubt they buy more expensive organic groceries whereas the likelyhood of the upper class people buying those items is higher. I know before I graduated college, I ate what I could afford. Lots of chicken and hamburger and mac-n-cheese. If you can't afford to eat like a king, don't.

No, they dont. Most lower to upper middle class people purchase the name brands. Most of us (so-called) rich folk purchase the less expensive items. What world do you live in? I will shop for the best bargin I can find in every case. All of my closest friends do the same. We live in modest homes, and also drive modest cars for the most part. stormtrooper76

As I said, those in the lower-middle class will have to start living within their means. If that means start buying store brand groceries and such if they don't already do that then they will have to. I also search for the best bargains I can find and live in a modest home.

This makes perfect sense to me. The richer buy more names brand item hence more expensive items, hence more sales tax. ncrph08

Art Pope even states that this will shift the tax burden to the lower and middle class.

Why cant some of you ideologs see it? Oh, I know why; because you refuse too......... You would rather push a failing agenda that doesnt work in the real world.

A report from the nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy says Laffer’s study relies on an economic analysis that is too methodologically flawed to even be useful, and Sirota said most mainstream economists now agree that the trickle-down theory doesn't work in real life.

"It would be a serious concern if we make policies based on theories that in practice aren't working," she said.

Laffer Firm Report = trash economics that doesnt work

This makes perfect sense to me. The richer buy more names brand item hence more expensive items, hence more sales tax. The lower-middle class buy store brand items that cost lest hence less sales tax. How is this not fair? This also may help fix some of the fraud with food stamps. People may not be as quick to sell those food stamps to go get their hair/nails/car wheels done because they will actually need the amount they get each month to buy groceries! Isn't that a novel idea. It amazes me the amount of money on those EBT cards for a family of 4. I feed mind for a lot less than that! Lower-middle class will have to learn to live within their means. I don't understand what is so difficult about this.

All of you whining about the rich and voted for Barry because he would teach those evil ol rich people a lesson need to look at Barry's new choice for secretary of state. One of the richest men in politics who docked his boat outside his own state so he wouldnt have to pay taxes on it! But as usual its different when a rich liberal does it, right?

Actually those are "reagan phones" because the program started under him and expanded to cell phones under W. Nope

Remember that everytime you say Republicans don't care about the poor.

Amazing, those on welfare want to write tax laws and decide who should pay for their livelihood.
