The TCNs in Saudi Arabia were treated like slaves. If you did to a human being what they do to TCNs, the government would lock you up for years for human trafficking and slavery, not to mention the torture and rape.

You as an American cannot do that anywhere at all without facing prison. Those people are not immigrants.

Maybe not quite as bad in Qatar but it is made clear you will never be a citizen, you sure as hell wont marry.

Saudiarrhea Arape-ia and Shitar do have some filipino indentured servant hotties that are quite beautiful and willing to clean your gold fountains though.

Yes, very many of them also have relatives in the states, buy the hype and think these places are better. They find out not so much.

Republican legislators Thursday blasted the 7.35 percent tax on “food for immediate consumption” that was included as part of the state budget passed in June.

Fucking piece of shit democrats - they tried to get a pure grocery tax which caused an uproar, then they pushed a tax just for restaurants, only to change the wording to food "ready for immediate consumption" - State tax board released list yesterday of all foods "meeting" that definition and its all fucking groceries.

Fuck these looting leaches.

My grocery bill is going up 7.5% on top of the mill rate increases and all the other fucking taxes - Wife and I getting off this sinking ship in next opportunity to move for work.

Why TF 7.5% when sales tax is 6.35%?
I'll pay less tax buying a cheap plastic trinket for a kid than for a hot dog?

Hey, vote Democrat and you'll see less money. Why is that such a shocker? It's not like they hide this fact?

Hell, Mass is a perfect example. We had a vote (the people) to reduce our tax rate to 5.0 almost a decade ago.

Instead, the reps here ignored the ballot results and have kept the taxes at 6.25. With a threat of increasing them more because their pet projects aren't making money.

Inelasticity of demand. When the government is let off the chain, they tax the shit out of the stuff people will buy under almost any circumstances and in the most regressive way possible.

Sales taxes on food are evil. Weird how republicans do not make a national issue out of what kind of shit heads would tax food, further driving poor people into poverty. Oh wait..

Have you ever noticed, when we talk about ”governments out of control” people refuse to put a party behind it?

Look at the biggest shitholes out there in the US.

Let's call it what it is. When the democrat party is allowed off the hooks shit like this happens.

[Speaker to Animals]

Mostly republicans do this shit.

I have no issue on getting taxed on what you buy. I have an issue on getting taxed then taxed again on money already taxed.

Thirty-two states and the District of Columbia exempt most food purchased for consumption at home from the state sales tax. West Virginia is the state that most recently eliminated its sales tax on food (effective July 1, 2013).

Six states tax groceries at lower rates than other goods; they are Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia.[1]

Four states — Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, and Oklahoma — tax groceries fully but offer credits or rebates offsetting some of the taxes paid on food by some portions of the population.[2] These credits or rebates usually are set at a flat amount per family member. The amounts and eligibility rules vary, but may be too narrow and/or insufficient to give eligible households full relief from sales taxes paid on food purchases.

Three states continue to apply their sales tax fully to food purchased for home consumption without providing any offsetting relief for low- and moderate-income families. They are Alabama, Mississippi, and South Dakota.[3]
