Tax on soda

Should people be punished with taxes for purchasing Coke, like they are alcohol and tobacco?

well to be honest i don't see why that would be a problem

I dont see a problem with it. Fatties cost the gubment (really, us taxpayers) a whole lot of money in unnecessary medical expenses. This would be one way to help make them pay for it.

Fine with me. I drink about 24 oz. Of soda a week.
That wouldn't cost me more than a quarter.

yeah, please more regulations. we need the fda to spoonfeed me please, i pay my taxes and need to hold someone's hand when i purchase fizzly drinks.

Sugared sodas? Tax them. But leave zero calorie sodas alone.

yes, in my country the tax money could go towards funding the treatments needed to sort out the health problems associated

holy shit, is this a thinly disguised FDA raid thread, fuck you bootlickers. this is a board of peace

It really shouldn't matter if you pay it or not.

I don't smoke, but I always vote against tobacco tax increases.

Fuck the government trying to get their grubby little paws on as much money as possible. Also, fuck people that want to tax their neighbors because "hey, doesn't affect me!"

Yes, sin tax should be the only tax
