• Increased Grocery Taxes? Rewriting History

  —Steve Urquhart

  Number of comments: 27
  Rep. Kay McIff opines that Utah should raise taxes on groceries. As I wrote in February, that's a really bad idea. Government revenues are down, because people's revenues are down. The solution to Government's woes is not to take more money from its citizens.
