Liberal policies entail more than social welfare, there is has been no utopian policies that any human has thought up and enacted, to include religeous founded ones....The GOP is no better than the Dems at policy...Both have taken our nation to new lows and new heights.. There is no perfect society or perfect political system...Why, you are not perfect yourself, how can you expect others to be?The left-wing leaders are all over the media declaring that taxes have no negative impact on business, individuals, society, etc. Likewise, the left-wing minions are all over message boards like this one parroting that exact same ignorant false narrative.
And yet...every single time the left wants to prevent something, block something, change something, or otherwise influence behavior - what do they do? They place a tax on it and proudly declare the impact the tax will have on forcing the behavior and results they are looking to achieve.
Wait...what?!? Their official false narrative is that increased taxes have no affect on commerce, employment, etc. In their infinite ignorance - they aren't even bright enough to realize they are proving to the world that they are lying:
Next month, San Francisco, Oakland, and Albany, California and Boulder, Colorado will vote on whether to place a tax on sugary drinks, such as a penny-per-ounce levy on soft drinks, sports drinks, iced tea, juice, energy drinks, and syrups and powders that can be made into beverages.
“Health advocates argue that raising the price on beverages sweetened with sugar will reduce consumption and ease the nation’s exploding rates of obesity and diabetes,” the report states. “The soda industry maintains there’s no proof of that.”
As Cities Contemplate Soda Tax, Critics Say It Kills Jobs and Has No Impact on Health
The claim is that is for the greater good, like helping people lose weight. Fact is that it's just another excuse to put their slimy hands in our pockets. They want people to become less and less productive and more dependent on government. It's the only way to kill the free market. They hate capitalism and they would like to replace it with some combination of socialism/Marxism/communism. It only appeals to those who will remain the wealthy elites or those who think they'll feel better when others are brought down to their level. Some indoctrinated lunatics actually think there is some utopia to be found through liberal policies.
