It will quench our thirst and will taste refreshing on our palate. Everytime we touch "food" and water and wants us to count calories there is something wrong with both !

It's 8% in the city of Philadelphia. Our Phila. mayor wanted to add another 2 cents per ounce tax onto sweetened drinks. It was very controversial; I don't think it went through.<br /><br />He needed to balance his budget but he made it appear he was doing it to make us healthier.<br /><br />Raising money in this way is just, in my mind, widening the already wide and growing gap between rich and poor.<br /><br />(The state right next to us, Delaware, has a 0% sales tax. A major highway that links us with Delaware is usually packed on weekends.)Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-39925292286360214812011-04-25T11:29:05.001-04:002011-04-25T11:29:05.001-04:00Bix,

How about your neck of the woods? <br /><br />I don't like taxes, but taxing food seems especially insulting. <br /><br />shauncaulfieldkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220688207706880140noreply@blogger.com
