SF Considers a Tax on Sugary Drinks

[Dizz28]

interesting, so this tax will go to thier Shape up program? Just about everything sold could be considered a "sugery" drink though. Hell, even OJ has quite a bit of simple sugers, would that be taxed too? Many fruit juices do and so do some ice teas and those are generally thought to be "good for you." I don't see how they would be able to tax some drinks and not others.

Hell yes, tax'em an additional $5.00 per 16 oz., just like cigs. Also put a BIG tax on all meats...the higher the fat content, the higher the tax....put a BIG tax on all processed food...Big liberal govn't is there to protect each and every one of us and be our mommies. Place a special tax on all publications not towing the secular-progressive line...after all...can't have people reading material that does not promote "right thinking".

Hooo Yahhhh....more government is the answer....vote democrat.
