The tax is more than the product costs... there is no way for the retailer to pay the tax himself...

Yet another tax on the poor. Liberals treat them like pets.
The only good part is that they are forced to carry their weight now.

The funny part about sin taxes is that while ostensibly they exist to discourage usage in short order the government is addicted to the revenue. The states all suffered when smoking level started to drop.

Theyre supposed to pay it and then sell the product at a loss The City's response would be that they could make it up in volume.

Does anybody in your state drink soda anymore?
Does the tax apply to artificially sweetened sodas (no sugar)?
Just curious.
