Read the bill.  They would not be taxed.  Your objection is the obvious
one, and it is taken care of.  Even now you don't pay tax for food.
Under the bill there would even be a special provision for necessities.

It is now, under the present tax law that the poor get royally screwed.
I mean, $30K for a family in Bay Area IS poor.  Look how much taxes they
still have to pay.  The current exemptions are a joke.
