I tried reading the language of the bill and still have no idea what the “perjury provision” refers to (heck neither does the author of the bill most likely).

re: “This bill would, on and after July 1, 2013, impose a tax on every distributor, as defined, for the privilege of distributing in this state bottled sweetened beverages, at a rate of $0.01 per fluid ounce. . .”

Absolute insanity. What can one say except “Get out of California” if you have a business.

Worse, they consider the use of soda a problem of “Behavioral Health”—surely a government determination.

But "behavioral health" problems like AIDS caused by homosexual behavior are just fine and dandy with government? Stupidity reigns!

If the syrup were produced w/o sugar or corn syrup and that sweetener were added as a separate, discrete third step, I believe, as worded, that might be a product exempt from the tax on the manufacturers level.

If this law goes through it will give the definition of ‘coke dealer’ a whole new meaning.

So what about “Undocumented immigrant vendors” out side of ball parks on game days....

They gonna fine them too???

I think we need to start becomming “undocumented citizens”.... or “undocumented americans”...

Can a drunkard who is in love with alcohol get married to the bottle and avoid the crushing “sin taxes” on his chosen lifestyle?

While are rump pumpers above the rest of the world’s sinners?

How is it they avoided the “sin taxes” that gamblers, t!tty bar fans, and drinkers must pony up?

Someone has enthusiasm for this law, obviously, but what kind of person wants to live in an police state?

We’re getting postings on Kalifornica for goofy legislation with no bill numbers or the names of sponsor and co-sponsors let alone their districts being reported.

The tax would be administered by the State Board of Equalization

Wow. Ayn Rand was brilliant but I didn't think they'd go so far as to actually use her words.
