Dang, Foxon Park Soda is in her district. They make a great 7 1/2 oz. soda that would be PUMMELED by a per container tax.
Well, we knew that tax increases could stop the climate from warming, but who knew tax increases could cure obesity???
I like it!
And a salty food tax (Hot Pockets, Ramen noodles, chips), a low economy car tax (older cars of college students), a video game tax (anti-couch potato), and a fat nurse tax (just because).
Is she going to take the additional tax money and use it to lower the price of blueberries?
Rosa DeLauro provides a graphic illustration of the proposition that ugliness is not just skin deep - at least with Commies like her.
Last I heard, soda & other drinks are bottled in complete automation.
Last I heard, there isn’t a large crop of blueberries here in the USA, as they take particular growing conditions,
Also—this Congressperson can thank Caesar Chavez for the price of HAND PICKED crops to be so expensive.
Before he hit us with the UFW—I could buy fresh tomatoes all day long for about 35 cents a pound. Now- they range between $1.75 & 2.50 a pound. They can stay in the store on my Soc Sec income.
This makes no sense.
If she had compared the price of soda to milk, I could see her point. no not really.
Why didn't she compare the price of soda to the price of meat?
Why pick on blueberries when there's pomegranates and oranges and kiwi and other fruit that are pricey.
If she finds that blueberries are too expensive, then why not lower their price to 99 cents?
Oh and the reason soda is so cheap is because the ingredients are cheap. The bottle and label cost more than the ingredients.
How about a federal witch tax instead? She could pay off the deficit if you threw in a few more in DC like Hillary. LOL
She is quite the fashion plate, I think she does most of her shopping at Goodwill.
