User ID: 74962957 United States 06/06/2017 11:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Starbucks WINS! Seattle will tax sugary soda pop but not diet; lattes apparently exempt Bastards.... [ link to www.seattletimes.com] The Seattle City Council on Monday approved a new tax on distributors of soda pop and other sugary drinks. Diet soft drinks were exempted. The tax is expected to take effect in early July and add about $1.18 to the cost of a 2-liter bottle of soda. Sports drinks such as Gatorade, energy drinks such as Red Bull and fruit drinks such as Sunny D all will be taxed, along with syrups used in soda-fountain pop. Some council members favored including diet soda, which is more popular with wealthier white consumers. That was one recommendation made after the city put the plan through a racial-equity analysis.

Seattle will tax sugary soda pop but not diet; lattes apparently exempt I don't like Starbucks or their products, anyway. The last time I got a coffee, it gave me the shakes and made me feel as if I would faint. What's in that coffee, anyway? I think they won't have to worry about taxes or no taxes pretty soon. Don't you think their income is already suffering? I would guess so. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.
Whatever feels good to your soul, do that. |

You know, helping homeless drug addicted men, giving them supervised heroin injection sites, housing, ebt cards for discounts on Amazon prime, new choo choo trains, Kasama Sawant statue in Pioneer Sq. The list goes on.. |

Something is "BAD" = TAX IT!
TAXING IT = reduced consumption!
LESS consumption = LESS Business
Therefore
"LESS" Business = GOOD
I get it! |

So they're not gonna tax the cancer-causing-artificially sweetened diet drinks then. Sounds like libtard thinking, or plans for a reduction in population. I don't go there, so I don't really care. Frankly, I don't care if they shut down from lack of income. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.

Adding ONE-PENNY per NET-CARB would spur innovation to make healthy food cost less than the current CARB LOADED CRAP that is so prevalent. Use the funds collected to pay for HEALTH CARE as a OUNCE OF PREVENTION is worth a POUND OF CURE. FIBER CARBS aren't digested so don't count, but are indeed healthy. |
