Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. ~Proverbs 16:19

Why does Tempe tax Groceries?

Posted: 2014-04-06

Matthew Papke for Tempe City Council 2014

Does your City tax food meant for home consumption? Do they tax groceries? Mine does and I'm launching an all out attack to end it. Taxing food is just wrong; it's morally wrong. I am personally unsure where anyone gets the notion that they have a right to tax food. I've started a Petition to help send a message that taxing food is unacceptable. My goal is to get 500 signatures to present to the Tempe City Council! Please sign and share today!

I know it sounds crazy! Here is text from the City Tax Code, you can read it yourself.

"Every time you raise a tax or fee I have to spend more on what I need and less on what I want.
Tempe resident Joe Pospicil

This man is retired and all too well feels the pinching of his pocket when taxes or water rates rise. 

Stand with me today and sign our Petition to end the tax on food. It affects the meek, the poor, the humble and is in my opinion a crime against humanity. 

Share this Petition with your friends and let's show the world that taxing food is not welcomed or acceptable. We need to present at least 500 signatures to the city council, Sign today! 

Thank you for all your support so far! Please consider contributing to my efforts today!
