State grocery tax voted out

[JR777]

What we really need is a repeal of property tax. That is so beyond unconstitutional it's incredible really.

Finally, anyone who supported taxing groceries should be hung. There should not be a tax on a basic need.

We need to rid income tax next

Is Governor Stitt going to sign it??

This should have been a common since thing many decades ago.

Stitt has stated he is against sales tax of groceries.


Which "thing"?

Shite. My property taxes went up almost 40% in 5 years. Transferred a title lately or late on a tag. The F’ers don’t miss a tax they don’t like.

My property tax went up 50% THIS YEAR.

My pick up tags are $95, get a farm tag $25.

Wif's SUV not eligible for farm tag.

I agree there should never have been a tax on grocery items in the first place. But, if the state's gonna stop taxing groceries, I'm not gonna b***h about it.

As a matter of fact, I don't have much to b***h about in terms of taxes in Oklahoma at all. Our property taxes are extremely reasonable as compared to other states I've lived in. Plus we get the homestead exemption and the geezer freeze on future rate hikes.

Could the tax situation be better? Of course. But, it could also be worse. So If I can save 4.5% on groceries after this is signed I'll take it and continue to urge my representatives to let people keep more of the money they earn thru further tax reductions. We'll never get to where I'd like to be but every little bit helps in my opinion.

And, according to the Biden administration inflation is only 3%-ish... I'm sure we all believe that...don't we?

Living in Michigan decades ago, grocery tax eliminated. Did not count soaps, paper, etc.
I would have saved $20 the past two weeks here in Oklahoma.

Flat rate IRS income tax would be welcome ONLY IF the rate is reasonable. Make government adhere to a budget too.

This only eliminates the 4.5% State Sales tax portion of the total sales tax you pay everywhere. You will still pay the city sales tax on groceries unless each city council votes to eliminate their portion which is extremely doubtful as citiy's sales tax collection is a big part of each ciity's revenue. Especially the smaller cities.

4.5% savings = about $500/yr for us(family of 2). Speaking of home insurance rates...see this link: https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy...ts-could-force-families-leave-these-10-states

It is a tax cut. We have all been wanting tax cuts, and now that one happens, we beech.

Show some appreciation and work within the system for more.

Tax might be a little cheaper, but I was paying more for insurance than my buddy in the Springs. He had a far nicer house than myself.
