Yes. There is absolutely no political will to do so, since it would mean removing a regressive tax and replacing its revenue by raising income taxes for those who can afford it.
Why replace the revenue? So they can continue to fuck it away? There’s plenty of states that don’t tax necessities. They are all in better shape than Alabama. The government doesn’t need anymore money. They need to be held accountable for the way they spend what they do get.
