NEW SODA TAX IN DC!

[Wally]

Sounds like a good retirement job

How much does a 40 bottle of beer sell for? Someone might go for the booze. Another unintended consequence.

Diet Coke----#1 soda in the world?

Yuk.

Somewhere between around 3 and $4

Retirement = no job

Cash for the track.

Same price as soda. What will people do?

Failure is the word if they think folk will cease to buy the soda pop.

DC introduces new ‘soda tax’ - WTOP News

I know what I would do.

Why only 15 cents if their goal is to stop soda drinking in the poor neighborhoods?

15 cents per ounce that’s almost $10 on a big gulp

ain’t nobody got time for that

The tax would be $1.80 a can? Tremendous black market opportunity!

Their liberal quest to control the population might actually cause some to get arrested.

$0.015; 1.5 cents per ounce. The extra tax on a can would be 18 cents.

I suggest we ( the members of Current Affairs ) tax all posts made by a basement dwelling Canadian who thinks he is worthy enough to post here.

The amount isn't going to deter the consumption. They want some money so they tax. It's a liberal money grab.

They need a tribe of Indians in DC to sell tax free soda

They never should have dumped those Redskins.

Philly’s soda tax didn’t lead to people drinking less soda, study says

Philadelphians reported a slight but not statistically significant decrease in sugary beverage consumption compared to residents of nearby cities without a tax, Drexel University researchers found.

Doesn’t work. If people want something they get it. Drive to a surrounding county or state that doesn’t have the tax. Just like guns, cigarettes, sales tax, you name it.
