[quote:jkm1864:MV8zNzUxNzIzXzY3MTcxNzM4Xzc0RDY0OTdD] When O'nagger put taxes on tobacco I quit. I used the Barrack Obama quit smoking plan to quit smoking. The plan consists of getting laid off as a white man and only having enough money to feed Your family or buy cigs. In away that piece of shit did Me a favor because I tried for years to quit but always went back. So I would imagine with liberals raising taxes on soda will just cause people to drink more water. The best part is the idiots in the city government will already have the tax money spent and then it will come back to bite them in the ass because no one is drinking soda. [/quote]

Seattle should call this Operation Taxed and Furious.
Basically, the tax is forcing people to go OUTSIDE city limits and spend their money elsewhere...

Thanks to the 1.75 cents per ounce tax, a 36-pack of soda at a Seattle Costco rose in price by 75 percent, while a 35-pack of gatorade raised by similar levels. While city leaders say the tax will benefit the city, business leaders and representatives say the tax will do nothing but hurt Seattle businesses, their employees and, in the long-term, the city itself.
