Alabama’s tax system deserves serious review.
One of the most obvious problems is the grocery tax. Taxing food places a disproportionate burden on working families and seniors.
The state has begun reducing the grocery tax, but we should finish the job.
Alabama should also have an honest conversation about whether the current income tax structure still makes sense in today’s economy.
Tax policy should reward work, encourage investment, and help Alabama remain competitive with other states in the Southeast.
