Tax all other things, but not food, please
Share this:
From Mrs S M Louarn.
I KNOW it’s a waste of time and effort, but I feel I must write this. It seems the States, in their wisdom, are going ahead with increasing GST. Tax all other things, but not food, please.
The poor pensioners and the young mums with kids are the ones who suffer the most. Kids don’t understand that mum is having a hard time finding money to buy food. They are hungry and need to be fed. The only time it was this bad was in the Occupation, and everyone went hungry in the end
Surely the States can leave food tax alone. I recently went to the UK visiting an elderly aunt. When I went shopping for her I could have cried at how much we are being stung. I know there are freight charges and all that, but, honestly the mark up is shocking.
I am hoping that people in the States will have another think, even if it’s to allow some respite from this awful tax.
