That greedy soda industry
That is, of course, who politicians blame when the tax they passed costs people their jobs:
One of the citys largest beverage distributors is planning to cut 20 percent of its workforce; grocery stores across the city are also planning to shed jobs.
Seriously, the mayor is an idiot.

Brother Lyle recognizes evil and calls it by name. If only we could get a good 25 percent of the population to start doing that (again) we might be able to fix this dump country.

He was quoted as being shocked that they are passing the tax along to their customers. I guess he’s never actually bought anything or read a sales receipt.
