Liberal SF said “HANDS OFF MUH SODA!!!
They don’t like their soft drinks taxed.
Take That, Mr. Bloomberg! Even my friends near UC Berkeley didn’t want this measure. We all see it as Tax-Creep. It starts with a penny, and ends a year later as One Dollar and a penny.
I wonder if a tax on sodomy would help cut down on AIDS?
In contrast, the similar (though not identical) Measure D in Berkeley is winning handily.
sanfran is a haven for sodomites, bit was going to enact a sodamite law?
Was Rum included in this?
Supervisor Scott Wiener, one of the most outspoken supporters of the soda tax, looked at Tuesday election results in a positive light despite losing. “The soda industry got a double black eye today,” Wiener said. “While we didn’t get to ⅔, a majority of voters supported the soda tax despite $10 million in corporate spending against it. No city has ever even gotten close to a majority vote, and tonight Berkeley won in a landslide and San Francisco got a majority.” …Can anyone say “delusional”? Must be the Truvada.
Even San Fran has to poke back at the nanny state tonight, even if they can only manage this.
Taxes for thee, but not for me.
If only they could grasp the bigger picture....sigh
Typical schlock journalism doesn’t give the vote-count up front. Less than 2/3. So maybe more than 1/2.
YIPPYKAI!!!!
