It's different all over.......In Utah, food in the grocery store was taxed.....In CA. it's not. Unless you hear that Cain got elected president, there won't be any 9-9-9 plan (which I've told you several time already).Gee, it's been 20 years since we have the GST here, and today, I even failed....
Went to Safeway to pick up my $500 watch I won, and also bought a Deli entree (pre packaged - just needs to be heated up in the microwave).
Was $4.99, so took a $5.00 bill out of my pocket, plus another 3 pennys to make up the tax....
I was fooled, no tax - since that item is not a "ready to eat" item.
So, just had to pay $4.99 - no tax.
Now, if that would have been a left-over grilled BBQ chicken, late in the evening, and would have been cold by now, and needed to be re-heated, I still would have paid the 5% tax.
That's how complicated it gets here.
But your Herman Cain has that all figured out : Tax everything, food included, cold, hot, raw veggies, no matter what - tax it all !
Candidate Obama threw out all kinds of crap promises and he hasn't done any of it.
Wait for a year and then we'll see if we even need to discuss 9-9-9.
