That is what will start occurring.

[outofsalt]

The North has leeches sucking on your paychecks.

[M Kehoe]

The mayor is a self -hating racist.

Probably has mommy problems too.

Taxing diet drinks because white people consume them may be another issue

It is a Fourteenth Amendment issue (denial of Equal Protection.)

[FredZarguna]

An Equal Protection violation is an egregious civil rights violation.

[FredZarguna]

Should be called the Relocate Existing Soda Distributors Outside the Beltway Ordinance of 2017. As Philly discovered, that will be the primary effect.

[Secret Agent Man]

We should then be able to add on “liberal socialist taxes to items.

Like $50,000 gay wedding cake tax.

[Newbomb Turk]

Is this not the same reasoning the Trump immigration ban was stopped by the ninth circuit ?

Because Trump announced during his complain that he would stop Muslims from entering the country ?

Same thing. Soda tax has nothing to do with health. Its about soaking those of us that work and limiting our choices.

Specifically rich white people.

This idiot mayor just might want to touch bases with the idiot Philadelphia mayor:

“. . .Since this [1.5 cents per ounce]tax has gone into effect on Jan. 1, consumption of the sweet drinks is off by as much as 50 percent, according to retailers, and companies involved in getting these drinks to consumers are reporting huge losses and announcing layoffs.”

They should tax taxes since white people seem to be the only ones who have the “privilege” of paying them.

Keep coming east. Crystal clear lakes everywhere. People carrying all around you, and blue ribbon fishing. Hunting, skiing, boating - we left Washington state and have been more happy than we ever thought we would be in northern Michigan.

Yep, snow. But it is so dry here that a broom works for clearing your windshields 90% of the time.

America's Best for Snowmobiling. I hitchhiked on them last winter when my vehicle got stuck, all the way home.

Nicest folk you could meet plus 3000 miles of cross country ski trails.

Home of the number one terrain park in America.

And sun, sun, sun, even when it is five below. And it doesn't feel cold because the humidity is only 30%.

So give it a thought. Upnorth Michigan is pure heaven.

Oh yeah. The mosques and muslims are downstate, 5 hours away.

“The mayor of Seattle has altered the rules of his proposed soda tax...”

I hope he doesn’t also apply it to pop.

[MarMema]

Right? What is soda???

[TexasGator]

Ask your city commissioner.

[Drew68]

Why not just have a “white tax”? I mean, this is where we’re headed.

Maybe Rachel Dolezal had the right idea all along.

[null and void]

When will the Buggery tax be implemented?

Hear, hear! Stick it to the man!

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Seattle must be crime free

Obeying the law and not being arrested is a white privilege issue and a racist micro-aggression.

The only fair way to remedy the issue is arrest a randomly selected white every time a black is arrested. /s
