A New York columnist argues food costs are only part of the grocery bill and differentiation is needed between food and supermarket costs.

The piece argues Americans share a desire for higher earnings and lower taxes but rejects tax shifting as a path to relief.

It urges cutting federal spending as the sensible route to lessen the tax burden.
