It’s a poor tax.
They aren’t putting it on creme brulee, or macadamia mochas, or adult brownies from Andronico’s. It’s not on Voodoo Donuts or any other treat that wealthy people like to buy.
It’s on soda. Because the poor amongst us can still have a treat for less than $1 with that.
The wealthy can feel good about themselves when they order their milkshake for themselves at Ben and Jerry’s.
They like Fenton’s for milkshakes.
