Berkeley, CA, residents approve tax on sugary drinks
Tax on sugary drinks approved in Berkeley; S.F. measure falls short - capitalgazette.com
My comment: When it gets to the point where healthy people have to subsidize healthcare for the unhealthy, then it's time to tax unhealthy habits. |
Does anyone really believe that people who drink sugary drinks are going to stop because of a few cents tax?
|
I'm not commenting on pro or con... however, I wonder how free refills at most restaraunts are calculated into the tax?
|
Not a biggie. There are lots of towns surrounding Bezerkley. Wouldn't add more than a mile or two to get sweet stuff without paying an additional tax.

I think there is a big difference in the added tax's impact on a typical Mexican citizen and a Berkeley citizen.

No one on this thread believes this is government overreach?????
We are quickly approaching Big Brotherism and I not talking bout the television reality show. |
