Poor people buy things, but wealthier people buy more of things and more high-priced items. I should have said that poor people do not purchase as many things as wealthier people. As far as the car tax--I mean paying for that little sticker each year so your license plates are current. I agree with paying tax on a car if you buy it from a dealer. I also do not believe food should be taxed. We are absolutely taxed to death in this country and it has to stop somewhere and sometime.
