    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.

    They are fat for sure.

    The worst people are the ones that think diet soda will kill you but the regular stuff is okay

    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.

    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.

    Coke raising prices bad

    Seattle taxing the shit out of Coke good

    Now that I have a minute. I'm not a big sin tax guy. Be it tobacco, alcohol, or pop (ILTCIPIWILTD). They overwhelmingly tax the poor. I'm more of a gluttony tax guy. Tax the yatchs, Porsches and prostitutes.
    Tobacco, alcohol, and pop create a net financial negative. People that consume this shit eat into health insurance costs and disability down the road. Taxing it helps offset some of these costs. When was the last time somebody went on disability because they bought a yacht or a Porsche?
    Yes, that's the answer. More taxes. You sound like a fucking democrat.
    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.

    People should cover their own costs to the system?

    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.

    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.

    Like race said, everybody paid regardless of health. Also the wealthy that could afford their own care and didn’t want coverage had to pay a higher mandate than people that couldn’t afford the insurance but still used unpaid services.

    Lets just punish everyone and tax everything if we're going to be taxing and punishing soda drinkers. Tax steaks. Tax ice cream. Tax candy. Tax whole milk. Tax butter.

    Oh wait, they already do that. It's called a fucking sales tax.
