Most taxes other than income tax which 50% don't pay, fuck the poor
Cortez the Killer wants to "incentivise" people to stop using gas by jacking the price even more than Cali already has. Who gets fucked? The poor

Yeah this is FS from by girl AOC. Until a better alternative exists, cars are here to stay. A better move would be to push funding for battery tech and infrastructure.RaceBannon said:Most taxes other than income tax which 50% don't pay, fuck the poor

It depends. If your diet soda is sweetened with aspartame, then it is worse for you as it promotes inflammation and also turns to formaldehyde which is not good for your brain.Pitchfork51 said:They are fat for sure.
The worst people are the ones that think diet soda will kill you but the regular stuff is okay
Almost all diet soft drinks are sweetened with aspartame. One exception is also the cheapest one, Shasta, as they use Sucralose which is Splenda. You can buy Sucralose Diet Coke and Pepsi but not many stores carry it. Amazon has it though. -
Such a weird concept...asking people who milk our health insurance and disability system to pay more than those that make healthy choices. I’m such bastard and a Democrat.oregonblitzkrieg said:

The mandate was a tax you paid regardless of use. It was the healthy young who avoided Obamacare the most and paid the tax

Most people who drink soda are occasional users, not binge drinkers. This only helps make the government fatter. I'm in favor of punitive taxes only if lawmakers are subjected to those same taxes.greenblood said:

I don't like that lawmakers take several weeks of vacation in the summer and don't do shit. Stop paying them when they aren't working and tax their vacations.
I don't like that they're shitting all over border security. Install some kind of lock monitors on their office and home doors, and tax them whenever the secure their own private spaces.
I don't like how they find creative ways to invent new taxes, but NEVER remove old taxes. Tax their income 10% for every new tax they create. -
Then your tax is hardly anything. But those who do binge drink pay much more. It isn’t perfect but something has to get done to make these people pay up.oregonblitzkrieg said:

And you miss the point that taxes are sold as making people healthier. Which doesn't happen.
Here's the problem with your argument. I assume you're claiming that since the government doesn't use the tax like they are supposed to, you want them to quit the tax on those and tax other shit that rich people buy. To you a dollar is a dollar so why not tax the big bad rich guy.
I say fuck that. The government was correct with the intent of taxing unhealthy shit that hurts the bottom line down the road. They just need to be held accountable for not executing the fucking plan.
"And you miss the point that taxes are sold as making people healthier. Which doesn't happen."

You're arguing for higher taxes, so fuck off. There are more than enough taxes AS IS. Federal Income tax. State income tax. Property tax. Sales tax. Gas tax. And on and on and on. Move to Europe or Canada if you want more taxation, socialist.Squirt said:

But yes, I am in favor of more taxes. Also fewer and lower taxes. It all depends on what we're talking about. The high taxes on cigarette? Yes. The City of Seattle's tax on sugary drinks? No. -
