With Sales Depressed by Soda Tax, Philly Grocers Look to Cut Jobs as Mayor Blames 'Greedy' Soda Industry

"I didn't think it was possible for the soda industry to be any greedier," Kenney said in an emailed statement to Philly.com reporter Julia Terruso. "They are so committed to stopping this tax from spreading to other cities, that they are not only passing the tax they should be paying onto their customer, they are actually willing to threaten working men and women's jobs rather than marginally reduce their seven figure bonuses."

Raise taxes on something and shocked that tax gets passed on to the customer. Democrats are fucking retards.

I used to be a Republican......thirty years. I voted for Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon three times. When I finally realized that the only things they were doing was cutting tax rates, borrowing what they spent from foreign banks and running up the national debt I swore that I'd never vote for another one. That was at the end of Reagan's first term. I'm 82 years old and I wouldn't vote for a goddamned money grubbing, asshole Republican if my life depended on it!

“If you want more of something, subsidize it; if you want less of something, tax it.”

You must be going senile. You just typed that bullshit in a thread about greedy liberal taxation

 

[FA_Q2]

What you should be mad about is the government raising YOUR taxes.

Except for the fact that taxes were actually lowered during the Obama Administration. But when they do raise them, I am mad about that. What I don't like is the government lowering taxes on corporations.

The federal income tax was invented originally to help pay for the Civil War. There was no federal income tax before that time. It had been ruled unconstitutional several times throughout history.

If we get rid of the federal tax, then the government has no revenue to pay its bills.

And another thing to be angry at is government wasteful spending of our money! My god, I've never heard anything so stupid as the things our government spends MILLIONS or even BILLIONS of dollars on!

We're in agreement there. Trump is planning on gutting social programs, the DOJ, the EPA, the DOE, just so he can increase the already obscene defense budget by $54 billion. And I'm really mad about that!

There are some corporations that shouldn't even be allowed to exist. Like "for-profit" prisons.

It is interesting that you would be against lowering corporate taxes. One of the very basic things this thread highlights is that corporate taxes are the same thing as a consumption tax - something that liberals profess to be against because they are regressive.

The only real differences between a corporate tax and a consumption tax is that the corporate tax is hidden from the people (they do not see its true impact directly) and a corporate tax is rigged by our complex tax system to reward some companies over others. Mainly those that grease the right palms.

The tax rate on capital gains and dividends is 10%. My tax rate is around 35%. I don't want corporations paying less of a tax rate than I do.

That's fine, and I'm not going to talk you out of it.

But the fact is, all taxes are passed onto YOU, the consumer. All taxes, at every level, are passed on to YOU.

Borrowing money has to do with government spending more money than it collects. That would be true no matter what the tax rate is.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

You have to be rightwinger stupid to think that the "favorite drink!" demand is so inelastic as to not be able to absorb 1.5 cent per ounce tax.

What is more likely going on is this pricing and conversation around it is a continuous reminder to people why they shouldn't drink soda - it's most likely bad for your health and so it becomes NOT their favorite drink.

The tax is simply the the straw that accelerated ongoing national trend: "We are in our 10th year of consecutive year-on-year declines in traditional soda volumes in the U.S.," said Adam Fleck, an analyst with Morningstar

Bottled water set to topple soda sales for the first time

Like cigarette taxes, this is sound policy that depresses demand on products consumption of which costs all tax payers on the healthcare back end.

Hey look....

It's Al Gore.....

We know what's better for you than you do.....

And that is how we justify removing choices from you......

Stupid prick

But the problem with all that is, after cutting taxes, tax revenue went *UP*. You can't logically blame tax cuts for causing deficits, when cutting taxes resulted in MORE tax revenue.

The amount of tax revenue into the US government DOUBLED... in just 8 years. From 1981, to 1989, the tax revenue DOUBLED, or close to it.

The reason the deficit went up, is because the Democrats in congress, which congress has most of the control over spending anyway, kept increasing the budget beyond what Reagan proposed.

That's all there is to it. Congress over spent.

Ok, so I'm guessing you have a point to make here. Higher taxes on everything means the government has all the money it needs and when it hit's you the consumer you should just pay up and deal with it? Is that your stance?

 

[Billo_Really]

Tax on capital gains and dividends has noting to do with corporate taxes.

That depends on how you file your corporation.

 

[Billo_Really]

So, what you want, is corporations paying more tax.

Now where does that money come from?
