Exactly. The goal of the free market is profit, not health.

Get pissy and don't pay the tax...that's the fucking point.
If you drink too much soda the rest of us are gonna be paying extra for your health care and shit anyway.
If anything this will probably save those of us who can control our intake a lot of money in the long run.
Drink water, milk or natural fruit juice.
On my time in Europe I noticed a lot of juice products are not enhanced with additional sugar.

To modify behavior.
Now answer my question regarding Obama's SCOTUS appointment. Do you contend that the founding fathers intentionally granted the Senate the power to eliminate the SCOTUS through inaction?

The tax is so high that it will reduce commerce. So, the tax money will be significantly reduced as well.
So, we have another liberal program that will reduce commerce while not providing the funds they promised into the budget.
So... they will be short of money and shorter on revenue.
Way to go Dem's! For the Chilrun of course!!!

I have depleted my retirement because of Diabetes.
There has been no loss of commerce unless you don’t count medical expenses.
Sugar will be generating revenue for years to come, but shouldn’t we warn the Dialyses Industry it may stop? or is that bad for commerce. If they follow suite, the industry will be sold to an international holding company as a sign of patriotic strength.

You demand repayment for society because you have diabetes? Did society force you to drink sugary sodas?
How about freedom of choice and freedom of responsibility. What you are getting now is more political maneuvering. There will be lobbyists that get drinks added and removed from the list in favor of campaign donations. The tax does neither thing it pledges to do, only adds more burden on it's citizens.
I dont live near there but it seems I have more compassion for them than you do. Last time I checked it was the family that is supposed to take care of the children, not the state.
