fix the tax system it is broke
FINALLY. Why are we taxing basics like bread and milk while the big guys play games with our economy?
So sick of struggling every week. Food should not be a luxury tax item.
Long overdue. The system is rigged against working people.
Stop the speculation and start helping the families who actually need it. Bout time the gov listened.
