They should still pay a little, and the sales tax ensures that they do. Everything that they buy is a larger proportion of their income than wealthy people's. I do not see anything unfair about that.

What I DO see as unfair is a class of people who game the system so that they can load up on steaks with their food stamps, and beer with their disposable income. I know this happens, because the day I took money out of saving to buy hamburger the person in front of me used food stamps to buy steak and had another cart full of beer which he bought with the money he saved.

I was fully employed, but made less in the year than the people who were getting food stamps during the off season. I know this happens because my wife was a food stamp examiner for a while.
