    Some governments try to make their sales tax less regressive by exempting certain necessities from it.

    For example, my state taxes groceries, but exempts gun safes.

      I really like the idea of gun safes being exempt! Storage requirements is a thing I’m all about.

      Food and medicine, including hygiene products, should be exempt everywhere. Florida doesn’t tax those things, nor do we have a state income tax, and I’m pretty sure the government is well funded.
