A sin tax on meat?!

Sounds like Vox has been reading D&C 89.

Does God tax meat consumption?

Well He lumped meat consumption in with the same counsel as tobacco and alcohol

By that logic, will the gov pay us to eat grains, veggies and fruits?

If you're poor enough, they'll buy them for you!

Yep. Through a system called food stamps.

Those only offset costs, but aren't a source of income, per se.

Just so I’m clear. Do you not believe in a “sin tax” on “sinful” items like cigs

Stick to the meat issue. No, meat is not a sin, should not be taxed as such.

Good luck getting that LDS view of meat accepted by the tax payer.

They need to read D&C 49 before they claim intimate knowledge of LDS doctrine.

Vox: a left-wing publication. No surprise they would mention it.

I wonder if any of the Dem POTUS candidates will endorse it.
