We need a national calories tax, aka Fat Tax.

Hey, we have half a billion dollars in unfunded pensions liabilities. Every bit counts -- oops, I mean, we'll use the "sugar tax" general fund revenues for gardening and nutrition programs in the schools.

Today it's soda that increasingly nobody buys anyway.
Tomorrow it's missed tax revenue opportunities, so it includes any beverage you buy. Silly Billy when will you guys ever learn?

When's the last time politicians in Cali ever used tax increases for what they claimed they were for.

People seem to be getting on to the fact that "purposeful" tax increases are nothing purposeful, just naked grabs for more to serve the politicians, public extortion unions and cronies.

They should have raised it to the point where soda was as expensive as beer. In europe actually oftentimes, beer is cheaper than soda when going out to eat which definitely increases the satisfaction of the customer.
