Seniors are already paying that 9%. It’s hidden in the present tax code. All National Sale tax is take that hidden percentage tax out of darkness into the light.

Yes, I understand that. Call me a skeptic, but I don't believe that when the product finally gets to me, that the price will be lowered. Not only will I still be paying $3.99 for a gallon of milk but I'll have to pay 9% tax on that gallon.

That said, I am a Herman Cain supporter.

But it you have just reduced the milk producers tax burden by 20% don’t you think he would pass on some of his savings to you? Say he keeps 5% of his tax savings and passes the rest to his customers to build up sales that means that now instead of having to sell a gallon of milk for $3.99 he can sell at $3.39 and still keep 5% of his tax savings.

As long as there is competition within a free market, the price will come down. It is the government that screw things up if WE Let them.

“$3.99 for a gallon of milk”

Do you know the EPA has made or is going to make Milk spills classified as a toxic waste spill? Who wins: Big milk processors and big dairy farms. Guest who loses.
