OT Seattle Mayor who allegedly paid underaged kids for sex taxes diet soda because rich whites drink it

[MARIS61]

I should point out these taxes are not going to affect me at all financially as I don't purchase any of these products, other than about 1 bottle of whiskey per year.

Sizzurp (Purple Drank) Recipe
The recipe for purple drank is very simple which is why it’s so common among young individuals. To make purple drank, one needs prescription grade 2-4 oz of cough syrup(promethazine-codeine), 12-20 oz sweet drink(fruit flavored soda, original sprite etc.), flavor additive (jolly rancher). Once all items are there, add them to a Styrofoam cup and mix it. The amount of each ingredients will vary based on the user’s tolerance to the drugs.

Arizona Ice Tea bro.

The revised tax would cover sodas such as Coke and Pepsi, energy and sports drinks such as Red Bull and Gatorade, fruit drinks such as Sunny D, sweetened teas such as those sold by Arizona, and bottled coffees such as those sold by Starbucks.

I don't want to read this article. I probably would just build up the desire to fuck this guy up.
Best work on next on my list.

I really like the way you worded all of that.

Is steel reserve a sugary drink? (No racist)

 

[H.C.]

ALL SALES TAXES (taxes on goods) make the poor become poorer.

That is the main goal of sales taxes and not an unwanted byproduct.

Poor children will starve even more regularly when these taxes are enacted.

No amount of designating the taxes to "eat healthy" programs will offset the overall burden on poor people's food budgets (their only income/handout source to pay taxes with.

Unfortunately unhealthy food is cheap, and everyone at some point has had to figure out ways to stretch a dollar.
Ideally at least imo, taxes on unhealthy foods would go directly into lowering the costs for veggies.
Which will in turn force people to eat more healthy.
I find it sad that it will never work that way.
As big companies won't allow it.
