Anyone else just see a SF and Oakland soda tax ad?

My feed in Florida just got a prop ad from California, paid for by Bloomberg. Why are we taxing soda in CA beyond sales tax?

it rots your teeth

where you been

[MinnesotaFats]

Thanks.

Was simply curious is anyone on the coasts could explain why Bloomberg is buying national air time for 2 local props in CA, and why on earth would any consumer product available to children be taxed with a 'sin tax'?

i know sounded it like smart ass but that really is what is driving the pro tax movement they want to stop diabetes and over weight kids. i think they tried to stop big gulps to a while back but that failed, i could be wrong on this but i stopped following the nanny state bullshit around that time and i left the state

california can break off and sink as far as im concernced the world will be a better place without it

Another form of a sin tax. I couldn't care less, haven't had a pop in almost 9 years. Just stick to the essentials... beer, water, and milk.

That's just criminal, government taxing whatever they want to make some extra cash.

I don't drink pop much,but I don't like how they are able to sneak these taxes in and pretend its because they give a shit about kids health.

Keep taxing it, it's contributing to people living unhealthy lives and putting a stress on our medical system
