grassroots; how do you figure this to be a tax grab? It is a consumption tax. If you don't like paying it, don't buy anything. I know, what about the poor who need to buy bread and milk? Well you know what? EVERYONE needs bread and milk; another 8 cents per dollar isn't going to turn a $4.00 bag of milk into a luxury item. Besides, how do you think all your needed social programs are going to be funded? Having said that, I also agree with you that the current assistance amounts are far too low and unrealistic (yes, I've been there myself). The way to get people off the system is education and support to allow people to get that education. Illiteracy is the biggest problem by far.
