On Connecticut's Plan to Impose a Penny Per Ounce Tax on Sugary Drinks
I'll take, "Yet Another Regressive Tax/Stab at Social Engineering that Reams the Consumer and Seemingly Works at Cross-Purposes", for a Thousand, Alex.
Here in the potato state, every morsel of food is taxed. But, we privatized our legal department, paying $285/hr, rather than the previous $92/hr. And some folks still believe that only the gov worker feeds at the taxpayer trough. As far as sugar drinks, you preach to the choir: my plain pipe tobacco now costs $37/can.

I am glad I don't drink sugary drinks EACH, anywhere.
Except alcohol occasionally.
Greed, of course, and extreme arrogance of a "nanny state" using tax policy to enforce morality.
Do you agree with me, Will, that all taxes should be with an eye toward absolutely no impact on behavior?
I do.
That my friends is both a theoretical and practical impossibility.

Not with the corruption and arrogance of those in power.
