Georgia GOP is going to TAX your GROCERIES
*Georgia Democrats highlight "Tax and Spend Republicans" with GOP tax of the
day*
*ATLANTA – *Georgia Democrats are putting the spotlight on the dark corners
of the Republican tax plan by featuring the GOP tax of the day on the state
party's website. Each day, the Democratic Party of Georgia will post a new
example of one of the over 175 goods and services to be taxed under Speaker
of the House Glenn Richardson's tax scheme.
"We think it's vital that the people of Georgia know exactly what the
Republicans want to do to pry more money out of hardworking Georgians," said
Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Jane Kidd. "Unfortunately, with over 175
new taxes in this scheme, I don't think we can get to all of them before the
legislative session ends."
The Democratic Party will post one new taxable good or service each day
until the Republican tax plan (HR 1246 and HB 979) is defeated. The first
GOP tax of the day to be featured will be groceries, a tax eliminated by
Democrats in 1998, but resurrected by Republicans this year. You can find
