Philadelphia soda tax

[pickles]

Soda is disgusting.
Any parent letting their children drink that shyt on regular is a bad parent.

What is killing more americans? ISIS or obesity?

Who gives a fukk, it's their choice to consume the products they do.

As long as the people are well informed of the dangers of the food and provided alternative healthier choices to choose from then the gov't shouldn't intervene.

A broad got socked up over this already

I don't drink soda but anyone that's cool with them taxin people's lifestyle choices needs to go play in traffic. It's bullshyt ass paper grab disguised as being health conscious. Bet most of them fakkits that voted this in are fat and flabby as fukk on top of it

Grown ass adults don't need big daddy same dictating what they should and should not eat and consume. Keep outta people's personal lives

I understand wanting freedom but I think Americans are abusing these freedoms too.

This is brilliant for those on the receiving end of the revenue. People are still going to purchase sodas. Of course, there are regular folks supporting this too.

Money grab nothing else left too see here they already tax soda

I'm more align with a libertarian ideology, make sure the people are well informed and let me them have their freedom.


Libertarianism (Latin: liber, "free") is a political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association, and the primacy of individual judgment.

no problem with this. I remember Bloomberg was pushing this extensively.

 

[Insun Park]

I live in Philly and drink pop every day

A tax is probably a good thing though. It protects people from themselves

Americans are some of the fattest folks on the planet. It because we live in a cluture of Over indulgence and excess. Americans don't understand that soda is a treat not a something you have with every fukking meal. Soda once was considered like candy or ice cream back in the day. Now mfs are drinking that shyt everyday and wondering why they have high blood pressure at 21.

 

[Rekkapryde]

The orginal purposal was 3 cent per ounce

You better than this nephew......

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

If they are going this route why don't they just have a sugar tax instead? Kids also eat candy, popsicles, cereal and ice cream. I guess they don't want to upset too many people at once.
