Philadelphia and the Soda Tax.

This seems like a bizarre approach to financing education. If it were for cleaning up disposable containers, it would be more logical.

Soda is crap. Bad for you. If they were smart they'd apply that tax to booze and tobacco too. Those three best-sellers (ask any store or gas station clerk) would fund a healthcare program for that city. And the addicts will still buy those products without a blip on the radar screen. Stuff that kills you funding stuff that makes you better. That's just poetic logic right there.

Way to go Philly. :clap2:

They already tax booze and tobacco! Hello!
 
Libtards want to tax soda because it's bad for you and legalize marijuana! Too fucking funny.

More...to pay for the healthcare costs those substances create.... Sugar in sodas = diabetes. Tobacco = cancer Alcohol = a host of human miseries.


So will the money collected only be spent on the healthcare of this who use those substances and no one else?
It will be spent how local and state governments see fit. That usually involves everyone. So if you're heavily into those products you can at least smile knowing you are supporting the health of everyone in your state.

Not me, as I don't live in fucking Philadelphia.
 
There is zero nutrition in water either so I suppose you libtards will be all about taxing water.
 
As usual these ham fisted taxation system will hurt the poor. No sodas with their big Max's. Dummies.
 
Philadelphia set to pass 1.5 cent-per-ounce soda tax | Fox News


1.5 cents per ounce can get expensive. Libtards will tax your BM's if they could.
Good to see you got your dose of Fox & Friends this morning hackgrl

Please list the nutritional attributes of soda kthanks
There is no nutritional benefit to iceberg lettuce either. Shall we tax that?
ah but there is. It serves a purpose and its made up of what 90% + of the body is made up of. PLUS, it isn't actually detrimental to your health like carbonated sugar water is
