    I'd have to see more about the plan. Right now, stores like 7-11 and other convenience stores can get payments from SNAP for accepting EBT. Does that sound right? How about KFC? McDonald's? The SNAP program, which is called "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program" should be about that second word - Nutrition.

    Right now that program allows the "poor" to buy all sorts of shit they don't need.

    It would appear that the fee is based on the size of the retailer.

    An OMB official described the fee as “modest” and “reasonable,” emphasizing that some large retailers redeem a billion dollars or more in food stamp benefits each year.

    Are you talking about a carbon tax?

    No. Talking about the fee mentioned in the article. I just referred to it as a tax.

    But a tax on whom? The fee mentioned in the article charges the stores for accepting SNAP (which the government pays but foots the bill for managing).

    A fee can also be called a tax. But forget I said tax. Replace my tax language with fee.

    That's fine, so long as you clearly identify who is paying the fee. A tax makes it seem like it is being thrust upon the public. This is not.

    Just like the rich will pay for a carbon tax huh?

    Thank you for making the exact same argument I have made on here for years with respect to a carbon tax.

    So, I guess you are in 100% agreement with me.
