Question -how many on the low end receive food stamps? If most of the poor folks receive food stamps why do they need a break on  grocery taxes?

In many countries of the world, there is no tax on groceries, as it is
considered immoral to tax necessities.  I tend to agree.  I'm poor.  I
use the food bank semi-regularly.  I'm better of than some, but a tax
break on groceries would improve my situation considerably.
