Chicago’s New PlayStation Tax Shows How Greedy Politicians Can Be

[Millennial_Messiah]

I think taxing fast food/restaurant food in general is a slippery slope since people need to eat food to survive (I do however think it’s stupid people can use their EBT card to buy Jack in the Box).

I would OTOH support a tax on soda and other sugary drinks that have no nutritional value. There’s nothing in soda people need to survive that water doesn’t have. People drinking soda in the quan ies it was consumed 40 years ago wasn’t that much of a problem but the 64 ounce megagulps you can now buy for 79 cents are a big cause of the uptick in type 2 beetus.

Not EVERY drink... thinks like powdered Koolaid, even Gatorade and stuff shouldn't be taxed... most people need flavor to drink water, including me, and they don't want to make the whole population dehydrated because plain water gags most of us.

Yes they do, powdered koolaid has no nutritional value. If you can’t just drink normal water the way people did for thousands of years that’s your problem.

Bottled water is the world's #1 scam. Don't want to deepen their already incredibly rich-ass pockets.


There's gotta be some flavor, or I'm gonna be dehydrated... same goes for 9/10 of the nation.

What's wrong with some powdered DIET koolaid/flavor for the rest of the population? Even if it doesn't have nutritional value, it's not wise to deprive people of small pleasures.

No one is getting deprived, it would just be getting taxed.

So you would tax white sugar and white flour, and who would decide what's nutritious? You? Even I would be afraid of that :-)
