If they can tax my cigarettes, cigars, gas, home, car, and paycheck because they’re “evil”, then by God they can tax lattes.
Well yes, I suppose they can sin tax anything they wish. Back to the Seattle latte’ tax attempt. Understand I am going from memory. I hate using google until after I test my middle-aged memory. The tax revenue from the latte’ tax was going to be used for pre-school education programs. What got the latte’ drinkers up in arms was that, not really the tax itself. A large number of free spending yuppies in King County are single and/or childless. I am sure if the money was going to be earmarked for some other half-assed lib program they may not have objected.
