That depends on where you live.
Some states in the U.S. do not tax groceries. Others do. Where food grocery items are taxed, it is usually at a lower rate than non-food items.
One reason that restaurant and/or fast food is taxed higher might be because it is not considered a necessity. People have to eat. They don't have to eat at a restaurant. In a sense, one could consider it a luxury tax.
In Ohio:
Fast food eaten at the location is taxed just like any restaurant food. Everything you order is taxable.
To go food is not taxable but Carbonated Beverages, specialty coffee and sweetened drinks are taxable even when ordered "to-go" while regular coffee, Orange Juice and non-sweetened tea ordered "to-go" is not taxed.
Getting groceries for free involves using government programs. The government offers food stamps to people who can prove a low income. The food stamps are free groceries.
You may be charged or get calls fro the police.I'm pretty sure it's against the law.But you do pay taxes when yu buy groceries and they have taxes at work.W-2 forms that you fill ou.I think they take out some of your pay.
These taxes upset the people who have to pay the taxes and those intelligent enough to know that even those who don't have to pay the taxes directly still end up paying in the form of price increases on everything that they buy in stores, groceries, and everything else that they purchase.

You have to pay taxes because we always waste stuff. But Indians don't have to pay taxes or even pay for collage because long ago, the Indians always planted the spare parts of food they didn't eat because they believed that it would grow into more food.

By collecting your paycheck..? Your gross pay is the amount you are paid, before taxes are taken out.
Minimum wage is usually the starting wage at fast food restaurants.
Estates pay taxes on income and may have to pay inheritance taxes.
Yes, they pay taxes. If you work you pay taxes no exceptions.
the pay before taxes net pay is after taxes
It depends on the state. It is up to each state individually whether they choose to tax food. I am assuming you are referring to sales taxes. There are no income taxes on food stamps (unless they are stolen). You are not paying for anything. The taxpayers are paying your bill.
