A plan to eliminate the grocery tax in our State has been turned down by our Senate. Guess they don't have to buy groceries. With record high inflation, as seen by all, those in states that have a grocery tax are experiencing a rise in their taxes from this angle. Maybe the State coffers do not want to see the reduction in available money for them to spend, reduced. All while on the backs of the "working class and under privileged". Just saying. | ||

When I lived in MD there was no taxon groceries. Here in NC it seems to differ from county, 6 to 7.5% | |||

Maryland is 6% on the purchase of goods and services, 9% on alcohol. Even if you buy online from out of state, you are taxed.

In Illinois, the grocery tax is being briefly suspended. But it doesn't apply to all items that I consider groceries. Kind of another scam. | |||

They're going to get their money one way or another - sales tax, income tax, property tax, whatever. Taking the taxes off groceries just means more taxes somewhere else. Mike | |||

I do not think States cutting their taxes and income is the answer for a Federal Problem CREATED by current administration. In fact if all States did it I think Federal Government would just take the opportunity to do us harder and deeper. The problem is we have a Federal Government Spending problem and their solution of spending more money is not a Solution. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||

While I am a huge proponent of less taxes you can’t just jump up and eliminate a resource without a plan. I’m for less spending and then less taxes. Both sides need to learn that. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

Thanks...apparently the pubs did not say no, flat out..."they called for a deliberate process to look at tax reform. “Philosophically, I am for lower taxes,” Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat said in a written statement."... sounds like a fiscally responsible position to me notwithstanding the current inflation mess we have been put in... | |||

OK here is another MD tax tid bit. Personal property tax-NONE, vehicle inspection-NONE unless you sell it and no emissions on diesels. Here the personal property tax on our, when new, 2017 Honda the first year was around $500+ and last year at 4 years old was around $350. Our 22 year old car was still PP taxed $48. $31 each year for inspection. Now how about that? | |||

On the down side, you have to actually LIVE in Md for that small plus. Take care. Tom Worthington If it seems that bracket racing has gotten too expensive for you, maybe you are just doing it wrong. | |||

Taxing groceries may be the only fair tax. We all eat. I think that there should be a National Sales tax and do away with any type of income tax. That way everyone pays. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||
