Democrats pass new Beverage tax in Philly. It's a social engineering attempt to force people to stop drinking beverages sweetened with sugar.

I'm guessing the end result will be a lot of furious fat & skinny people. No wonder PA is turning Red.
“When I read the receipt I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. I paid more in tax than I did for the product,'” Andrews said.
The tax on the $1.77 gallon of tea was $1.92 cents.

Seems to me this will simply drive people to go across the river to buy their drinks.

Is unsweetened Tea taxed? I'd sell it next to the sugar packets and sweetner.

I drink water when I go to restaurants. Even if that sugary beverage tax were tried where I live, it wouldn't work on me.
