Calling soda the new tobacco, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will introduce legislation this fall that would charge a fee to retailers that sell sugary beverages.
Newsom would need voter approval to tax individual cans of soda and sugary juice, but only needs approval from the Board of Supervisors to levy a fee on retailers. His legislation would charge grocery stores like Safeway and big-box stores, but would not affect restaurants that serve sodas.
Newsom wouldn't say how much the stores would have to pay or how the city would spend the fees. When he first floated the idea in 2007, he said the money would go to his Shape Up San Francisco exercise program and for media campaigns to discourage soda drinking. More here:
Ha ha - keep voting for liberals/communists you fucking idiots. They're going to tax you on soda so they can advertise against the evil corporations that sell soda. And PIPE DOWN, WITCH ... before we get out the gasoline and burning-stakes. I mean, what were YOU going to do with your money anyway? Huh? Waste it, no doubt.
But don't worry, they'll probably stop with soda. I sure hope they don't make Birkenstocks "the next tobacco," don't you?
