shep's right. that woman isn't seeing the whole picture, HFCS is terrible for you and it shouldn't be legal by any means whatsoever, so make it illegal or just stop buying it. By taxing it we're ensuring it stays around.
sick of these nanny-state communists...leave the soda alone.....what happened to freedom of choice? Pretty soon soda will be banned off the shelves if we let these progressives have their way.....worry about your own selves
This guy is such a douche. She's making a lot of valid points and he just yells the same invalid arguments over and over. Oh, and this guy obviously has never been to California, because pot is illegal yet everybody and their mother smokes it. If it was legal, the money from pot sales could go the government rather than Mexican drug lords. Taxing cuts down consumption, banning just redirects money to pretty sketchy individuals.
Smith is arguing from indignation. Specifically, the idea is bad but generally sounds good. If only for the fact that the stuff is unnecessary. Alcoholic drinks & cigarettes are just as bad for you as soda and they are taxed so why not?. Corn is a bad agricultural product and making a product as dirt cheap as high fructose corn syrup, way sweeter than cane sugar is just an abomination. But Gavin Newsom is a doink because all products w/that ingredient would have to be taxed. Its in everything.
I know exactly how to fix this money crunch all government employees making over 90k a year lose 20% of there wages, do the numbers on that I be California is in the black again hahah you greedy fucking traitors. This is like simple math guys, if I go to store and you they keep raising prices I buy it somewhere else, if the government keeps up taxes to the point its oppressive its going to get fired by vote or bullet.
Frieden has based his call for a soda tax on the campaign he instigated in New York City, where he was health commissioner for seven years, which practically ran the Marlboro man out of town.
A year after he became health commissioner of New York in 2002, Frieden started raising taxes on cigarettes to the point where if you buy a packet of 20 in the Big Apple today, you don't get much change from 10 dollars.
He reasoned that people would kick their cigarette habit if it cost too much. And he was right.
He is one lucky motherfucker I dont live in newyork I would have killed him, let me put this simply the government job is to server the people not curb there habits or tell them how to live
of your wages and then we wont need to create such ridiculous taxes. I give this government 10 years, I am will be there with my gun and ready to put things back the way they should be, greedy politicians making 100K year have the gal to say soda is the worst thing haha how about you drive a 10k car and not a 50k car you fucking asshat. Your greed is the problem and Americans know it where not that stupid
I agree that high fructose corn syrup is purposely designed by the food industry to increase obesety in america.Simply because fat people eat more food.But what I disagree with is taxing the stuff.All liberals know how to do is tax their way out of a problem.How lame.
yah why not tax people for being over weight as well? 10$ for every pound over weight. of course the idea is to make programs, but its well known that the first thing lined are the politcal pockets.
Bravo to exposing SF's idiocy. The problem is we don't have a say. As a Democracy the people vote and win. Now there's a political interest group who does not like the outcome of the election, so they sue. Put this tax to a vote it will lose by a landslide but watch, attorneys the next day. The city of SF sues and wins. The outcome? Sodas will be taxed for the best interest of the communities health! But if you can I would look forward to you showing me where I am wrong.
This is why I like Fox and Shep because they believe in the stuff that they discuss unlike CNN where they buy opinions
