WARNING!!!!!
*
Now, not only are medical benefits being cut and medical equipment
costs that are already sky high going up. Many medications are a
financial burden on those that need them. This morning the news
reported that Florida is now proposing a sales tax on medications.
This is not only unfair but immoral that peoples suffering can
be taxed further. It was bad enough that legal advice recently
became taxable. What will it be next? Food taxes. This is serious
people. This trend will not see an end if it continues without
serious opposition. TAXES CONTINUE TO RISE AND SERVICES DECLINE.
DON'T JUST SIT THERE.....DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!

Index Number: 14660 In missouri, sales tax is applied to both medicine (including prescriptions) and groceries. I've often thought I'd like to fight to remove that tax since it's a regressive tax that hit's the poor and/or ill/disabled unfairly hard.
