This is how you launder food stamps.
You buy soda with food stamps, then sell the soda for 50 cents on the dollar.
“If Philly shoppers went to the trouble to shop out of area for soda, they probably went ahead and purchased much more in the same shopping run.”
That is exactly what is and will happen. Also a black market may emerge.
That leaves Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties. The only people this tax screws are those without wheels. Kenney hates hipsters and poor black people. I'm wondering if the black market is in operation yet?
Likely from the raghead trash getting food stamps, using said stamps to buy soda, then selling the soda on the streetcorners.
I have NEVER been there so I am clueless as to what the area is like!!! I will take your word for it YIKES!!!!
“I gave up soda/pop completely about 10 years ago. One of the better decisions I have ever made.”
I gave it up almost four years ago, and have noticed no health benefits.
Then they will begin to go after smugglers.
It's like what they do in Washington DC with fireworks, which are illegal there but legal in Virginia. Every 4th the fireworks vendors spring up in Northern VA. And every 4th the DC cops park along the Potomac River bridges, halting cars to check for illegal fireworks.
$3.28 per 10 pack buys enough fuel or bus fare to make the trip out of the city and back. New Jersey is loving this.
“That leaves Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties. The only people this tax screws are those without wheels.”
Buncha those in Philadelphia.
I call it the Scrooge McDuck theory of liberalism. They actually believe that there is some vault of money available...and mean old republicans are the only thing standing between the sheeple and the vault of money...withholding it out of pure vindictiveness.
Watch these same political make a law against bringing sodas in from out of town with extremely heavy fines. And the set up Soviet style check points.
Cheapest way to get out of Jersey by car is on the Tacony-Palmyra with a $4.00 toll. $5.00 on the other bridges. Don't know bus or train fares.
I guarantee that they almost all of them supported Kenney.
The dumb, greedy, big city, big government, tax-and-spend liberal mindset destroys more jobs and business. Well done, idiots...
Seattle mayor ed Murray just proposed a 2 cent per ounce tax on sugar drinks yesterday. Fools.
I dont know about Mercat but I am diabetic. When i sample a soda (just half) because I miss the taste,lol. Once every couple months. I get nauseous and sick all day. All it takes is a half a bottle. So, if you dont already know google diabetic and symptoms.
“So, if you dont already know google diabetic and symptoms.”
I’m type II as well. When somebody says that sugar intake makes them feel bad, that’s where my mind goes.
I drink diet sodas when I rarely drink them. I hate the taste of corn syrup. So no, I’m not diabetic but I think its a reaction to the nasty stuff that they sweeten it with.
“I guarantee that they almost all of them supported Kenney.”
Crazy, ain’t it?
This was the intent, though. To drastically cut sales of these beverages in the city.
How they are going to simultaneously drastically cut sales and raise a lot of revenue, is beyond anyone with working brain cells.
