San Francisco Wiener Wants To Tax Sodas @ 2 Cents An Ounce - smn1256 - 10-30-2013 07:53 PM
Quote:SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A can of soda could eventually cost about a quarter more in San Francisco. A proposed measure would add a special tax to sugary beverages, but the proposal is different than a similar ballot measure that failed in Richmond last year.
The idea is simple -- the bigger the drink, the more taxes you pay. It would be 2 cents per ounce for all sugar-sweetened beverages. That includes soda, sports drinks, energy drinks, and bottled Frappuccinos.
"It's not a nanny state at all; we're not banning anything," San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener said.

Yes, there's an Weiner idiot on both coasts.

The CA libtards have to raise money to fund all the gubment pensions they're handing out. Funny thing I don't hear them saying alcohol should be taxed at an even higher rate.

A place like San Fran will probably go for this tax, and then wonder why the extra revenue is wasted. Heck, they may not even care the extra revenue is wasted.
