I wish all types of taxes were labeled in detailed like that everywhere in this country.

dims dream of Hunger Games scenarios. They think they'll be in the protected cities living it up and eating/drinking whatever they want, not having to work, etc.

These type of things tend to hurt lower income families. The people the left supposedly represent.

Liberals are act like they don’t have a brain . If it’s bad for you then stop buying it . So liberals put a high tax on sugar drinks but they want to make marijuana legal ? What kinda tax do they put on Marijuana?

good. Too many fatties running around the South. We need to tax them out of existence.

That’s why healthcare is so damned expensive, you morons don’t understand the basics of nutrition.

A lot less if you people would show some common sense.

But that’s too much to ask for.

Well, to be fair, those are some of the most unhealthy things you can consume that aren't actual drugs. Now, that tax seems ridiculous, but we definitely need to get people on good, old water again. It would definitely help the obesity rate.

So the government should determine what is and what is not common sense?

What if common sense, as determined by the government, dictates that all Jews should be exterminated? Or, maybe all Democrats?

You're not very intelligent....

Yep. Boulder has implemented this as well. My wife I had saw the signs at the grocery stores there. Instantly scratched it off the list of places to visit/live.

Seattle has a thing with failed taxes.


Seattle gun tax backfires as gun deaths rise

quote:

Seattle City Councilman Tim Burgess introduced a bill in 2015 to place a $25 tax on every firearm sold and a 5-cent tax on every ammunition round sold.

Since the tax took effect, gun violence has risen and gun sales have decreased, leading to a much smaller payout than the city expected

I don’t agree with it but I also don’t think it’s very different than taxing tobacco or alcohol in principal.

why do you hate poor people?

I'd like to hear your opinion on restricting food stamp purchases to healthy food.

How about fried chicken? Should we put an extra tax on that?

I just want to see how consistent you are with this belief.

He's a typical American progressive though.

People are too stupid to control their own lives so they need democrat elites who they've never met to control it by taking more and more of their money until they comply.

Sounds like an awesome life.
