The whole state of Hellinois has that tax also. Sweeteners (unbaked) tax. Candies,soda, sport or energy drinks,

Maybe it's just me but I don't understand how anyone can live in areas like these as screwed up as liberal Broward county is which I live in with it's cesspool of democrats this would never occur here because people here are already on the edge with high property taxes and insurance. If you live in Fl the three counties that subsidize the state are Broward, Dade and Hillborough County which is the Tampa area the rest of the state is relatively low in property taxes and insurance. If you ever decide to move to Fl to get away from the cold and high taxes stay out of those three counties I mentioned. I guess these ridiculous taxes are accepted because I assume that the pay is a lot greater in those areas so I guess everything is relative. You get what you vote for.

Why would anyone move away from their NFL team?

This comes from the political party that tells us "It's her body so it's her choice".

Their hypocrisy is telling.

I'm thinking if it's sold as a powder it's not a sweetened beverage, and therefore not subject to the tax.

Loopholes... the bane of all liberal stupidity.

The powder is sweetened
