The effects of Seattle’s soda tax are finally being realized — and business leaders are furious. Seattle should call this Operation Taxed and Furious.

  • Our state capitol, Santa Fe, or Santa Flush as I call it, tried to do the same thing last year. As liberal as the liberal loons are there the voters said no by a huge margin! When they figured out a $4 can of lemonaid mix, the powdered stuff parents buy for their kids, was going to cost $21 the people said no. Because the tax was figured by the ounce no matter what the product was the idiot mayor shot himself in the foot. As goofy as the people in Santa Fe are they might have went for it if the tax was added to fountain drinks only.

  • Liberal Government: "We need more revenue, so we are raising taxes."
    Citizens: "We are going to go elsewhere."
    [people shop at other stores, people move out of the state]
    [revenues go down]

    • Yeah. Seattle's gun and ammo tax was already a giant fail so now the retards do this. How damn stupid can they get?

    • If we did have a stupid tax liberals would be to stupid to understand why they were paying it. Kind of like all the small business owners in San Franfreakshow who thought a $15 minimum wage was a good idea then had to let their employees go or close down when they had to start paying it.
