Obama’s first tax was on tanning booths. Precedent set.

The practice of taking money from Identity Group A to pay for benefits for Identity Group B is a form of slavery for Identity Group A. It is instituted by labeling Identity Group A privileged oppressors and Identity Group B impoverished victims. Demographic changes will entrench the practice further unless there is a paradigm shift.

Diet drinks are the most destructive ones.

All artificial sweeteners used in them are neuro-toxins.

Starbucks is a Seattle-based company. How do they like having a new tax on their products?

Having been in the soft drink business for 25 years, that’s news to me...

:) been awhile since my vote mattered. I will definitely be there at 62. The ongoing war with my wife about moving continues.

Mom lives on Staten Island too and none of my other brothers and sisters do. She is 84. She will not be living on her own in 13 years I think. though Sicilians are stubborn!

Jeff Sessions needs to get on this.

Sessions won't even take on the blatantly illegal rulings of the 9th Circuit, which is an honest to God constitutional crisis.

He seems to have recused himself from acting as the Attorney General.

That's what was said about it during a review of Superbowl commercials a couple of years ago.

I think it was an explanation for why the black woman was throwing a can at a white chick.

Look for this to happen in dozens of more cities and towns.

The same tax is being imposed in leftist Santa Fe, NM and even the little supposedly conservative podunk town that I am getting the hell out of permanently as soon as I can dump my house there.

I see an easy solution to this nonsense. Whites should just stop buying such products. We’ll see how popular the mayor is then.

They should. None of that stuff is particularly good for your health and if you just have to consume lots of sugars, citric acid and the rest of that garbage there are alternatives. Many of them cheaper to begin with.

These Leftist politicians have gone stark raving crazy, everything is race to them and they have to punish whitey for being white. This is sheer lunacy.

That is biased and prejudiced against any/everyone who isn’t a minority.

Liberalism 101: Only whites can be racist, bigoted, or prejudiced. This is settled science, and may not be disputed.

Sessions has a full plate...in fact overflowing

Wrong.

The DOJ has a Civil Rights Division that needs to do something useful for a change.

>> the tax would bring $16 million in revenue <<

Bill Gates probably has that in spare change around the house. Why not hit him up for a donation instead of squeezing it out of working class people?

(FYI: Bill and Melinda Gates have given about 900 MILLION dollars for "Reproductive health care".)
