END THE FOOD TAX

by

Food stamp demand is up. Big surprise? Nope. Even before the recession started a year ago, low wages in South Dakota doesn’t help the situation.

As of Nov. 30, there were 67,217 state residents receiving the assistance, up from 62,458 a year ago. Forty percent of that increase was in Minnehaha County alone.

And what is the solution to this problem in Sioux Falls? Raise fees and taxes more!

Stupid, Stupid Stupid.

I highly suggest they put a revolving door in – it’s gonna get worse.
