# Hot Blava

The national debate will always seep over into local politics and thus, events on the national stage will find their way into Hot Blava. We hope that Hot Blava will be an interesting mixture of national issues and issues that affect Utah, and particularly Utah County where we live. Mostly, it is great to write about issues you're thinking about as it solidifies your thinking... or exposes your own irrationality. You can decide which is which.

### Food Sales Tax Not Immoral

I disagree with John Campbell in his letter to the editor of the Deseret Morning News. He argues that the food tax is immoral.
Everyone in our community, rich and poor, consumes the resources and services provided by our government. Doesn't it make some sense that all should contribute to that government? How can we argue that it is immoral to pay for what you use?
If the food tax is regressive, then we certainly make up for it with our progressive income tax code.
There may be other good reasons to get rid of the food tax, which I don't necessarily oppose, but immorality isn't one of them.
