Well, Philly did it.......
Philadelphia became the first major American city with a soda tax on Thursday despite a multimillion-dollar campaign by the beverage industry to block it.
The tax is 1.5 cent-per-ounce on sugary and diet beverages.
Regular **AND** diet sodas ??!!??!!??
Yup.
They don't care whether your drink has calories or not.
They wanna tax it!
It'll add 18 cents to the cost of a can of soda, $1.08 for a six-pack or $1.02 for a two-liter bottle.
Yeesh.
Governments are so money-hungry.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
