Good riddance. If they're going to tax the shit out of my fucking cigarettes they might as well do the same for something that's actually ruining lives.

>>10128596
>they might as well do the same for something that's actually ruining lives.
They are never going to tax millennials.

>>10128604

>>10128596
I've always thought that they should put a large tax on coffee.

This isn't real.

>>10128617
Sadly, Seattle is a real thing.

>>10128652
Can we just cut Washington in half at the mountains already and push the faggots out to sea?

>>10128617
How else will Seattle support the roving bands of homeless and social justice pioneers?

Based Washington instituting a regressive tax.

>>10128588


it already came and went in chicago. even artificial sugar drinks were taxed. at that point, why not just tax everything with sugar? or chips?

Doesn't Washington also not have a base sales tax like California has? I'd take that trade off to get out of this sun baked shithole

>>10128660
I honestly think that's great. Sugar sweetened drinks are probably the single worst things humans can consume on a regular basis. Tax the shit out of it I say.

>>10128596
Sugary drinks don't cause a burden on public Healthcare by their existence. Fatties with no self control need to be taxed based on their bmi.

>>10128675
Washington is becoming California due to the mass migration of very unwanted Californians.

>>10128681
Most fatties don't pay taxes anyway because they're poor as fuck, so that's not going to help anything.

>>10128690
Start taxing their EBT when they buy candy with it.

>>10128687
Is Spokane still okay? My liberal Seattle friend hates it there, so I figured it must be good.

>>10128691
Start taxing their EBT? EBT is government money already. Taxing it makes absolutely no sense.

>>10128687
Extremely irrelevant to my question. Yes or no, you whiney bitch?

>>10128690
Are you implying huge portions of the population simply don't file taxes? Or they somehow dodge various sales taxes that are automatically applied at the register? I don't get the point you're trying to make

>>10128711
Yes it does, you faggot.
Gee wizz, it's almost like you could not go off on the wilds of the internet and find that information yourself.

We call it Spocompton here in Washington it's poverty shitville.

>>10128724
Yet you still answered. Thank you, my bitch

>>10128737
Never told you what the rate was.

>>10128719
They do pay sales tax, but not income tax. Most of them get a check from the government at tax season.

>>10128726
Is anywhere in Washington still worth moving too?

As a person who exercises and watches their calorie intake carefully, but retains weight due to taking anticonsvulsants, I oppose this.

I don't even consume soft drinks, fruit juices, or whole milk, or snack foods so fuck this idea.

Spokane =/= Tri-Cities

>>10128849
It's like a tumor, we may not like it but the fucker is still attached.

>>10128816
Exactly. It shouldn't be about punishing certain people, it should be about preserving the health of all americans, especially children being given this crap by clueless parents. Attack the problem at the source and tax sugar water highly enough to make it a luxury item

Everybody knows that cigarettes are bad for you, which is why you have to be an adult to make the decision to buy them for yourself. Sugar water is marketed to children.

>>10128588
I wonder how long this will last? Cook County Illinois tried a similar thing recently but it failed. I think it could stick in Seattle though because they're a bunch of faggot out there.

>Everybody knows that cigarettes are bad for you
Most of the smokers I talk to these days have some impressive mental gymnastics going on and tend to believe that their chosen brand of cigarettes aren't bad for them. Stuff like smoking brands with "natural" somewhere in the name or marketing, or rolling their own and claiming that "it's just the chemicals in the filters that make cigarettes bad for you".

>>10130401

I've literally never met anyone who says shit like that. We all know smoking is bad, we just use mental gymnastics to get around the fact that we're throwing money away on something that's killing us.

>>10128948

>>10130766
That's kind of the point, in a way. Live in Vancouver, no state income tax. Shop in Oregon, no sales tax. Vancouver is full of crazies and transients because of that though.

>>10128745
You really don't want to be anywhere near Microsoft, Amazon, or Costco people. That alone wipes most places in the western part of the state. After that, it's either either college towns like Olympia and Bellingham or you go east. So it depends on what sort of human garbage you intend to surround yourself with.

>>10128784
This. I love this state, I just hate the fucking people. Seattle is fucking ruining this state by trying as hard as it can to be California.

>>10128753
Are you retarded?

>>10128588
The worst part is if you drive a couple more miles you can get past the tax by buying your beverages in shorline or bellvue

>>10131417
The Costco in Seattle actually has signs up telling you to do exactly that.

>>10131423
I didn't even know there was a Costco in Seattle proper till I read about the tax. I wonder where it's hiding. This city is too damn big.

>>10131457

>>10131423
Either that or go to winco, all their beverages are adjusted to the tax, there the same price as before

>>10133945

>>10133918

It's federal lobbyists vs educated states voting on what they want for themselves. Also HFCS is in fucking everything, not just sugar water; sugar water is just a good place to start because it has zero nutritional value.

>>10133933
>Your anti-convulsants don't make the law of thermodynamics void
No, but your body will try to hold onto calories more than usual on some medications. Look it up fella.

There's a reason doctors will take you off medications when you have a reaction like that; it's hard to maintain proper weight and get the required amount of nutrition if your body is insisting on storing calories instead of using them.

how many months of the year is the snow though?

>>10128681

>>10135019
Not too many. The marine climate means that until winter really sets in they get a lot of sleet and freezing rain.

>>10135019
It might start late October and then end mid spring. This year has been pretty mild so far.

The snow really isn't too bad, it tends to stay around for a while but the roads and paths people take are usually cleared right away and stay that way through use.

Nanny State taxes and rules are complete bullshit.

But why tax something bad someone healthy might indulge in every once in a while?

There needs to be a fucking obesity tax. and make it much larger than just 99 cents becoming 1.79. Make it cost 5x as much so it gives them a reason to be healthy, and destroys their means of continuing a disgusting life of fat. If you're a landwhale you gotta pay up

>>10135907
It is my business because people don't live in a vaccuum. Widespread health problems like diabetes, immobility, heart disease, etc effect the functionality of a society. People who make their kids fat should be tossed in prison and left to rot but it's better to start at the bottom by making healthy food more accessible and affordable than garbage food.

>>10135919

They only affect the 'functionality' of society by costing more in healthcare. Otherwise they consume and die a bit more than everyone else but that isn't anyone else's problem. Thank Obama and the liberal left for forcing healthcare on everyone against the country's desire or best interest so now it is everyone else's problem. Michelle Obama might think fat children and fat people are disgusting but the rest of us would rather have the freedom to be fat if we so chose in America. That is why Trump got elected to fix shit like this and unite the country again.

Ok Im fine with this on paper. It punishes those who can control their sweet tooth, but in such a fat epidemic that might be for the better.

But what if fatties figure out how to make sweet and unhealthy drinks for themselves? You gonna tax all sorts of sugar, even the raw stuff? That would lead to complications with people who just want to cook properly.
And even if you did that making some unhealthy milk fat milkshake abomination isnt that hard either.

They better pray that fatties are too lazy/dumb to put in that slight amount of extra work.
But at least now they wont have that shitty muh cheap food excuse which was always horseshit anyways.

>>10136018

>what if fatties figure out how to make sweet and unhealthy drinks for themselves

That's not the issue; anyone can choose to make whatever crap for themselves they want. The issue is that sugar water is a convenience food that is basically forced down your throat if you eat anywhere other than at home, and is marketed to children as though there's no issue.

>>10136018
You know what else is really bad for you? Sitting in front of the computer all day.
The State really should step in and limit us all to, say, an hour a day, don't you think? It only punishes those who are too weak to read a book or go for a run anyway.
Actually, why not send some cops 'round your place and FORCE you to go for that run? It's very healthy.

Homeless people down Starbucks like it's going out of style, and SJWs around Cap Hill have every other storefront some new coffee trend that is one shot espresso to four cups syrup.

>>10133871
Please explain.

Because under Obama is when we saw the decision that letting 8 year olds take hormones was ok and men cutting their dicks off were totally women.

I'll take Trump's autistic Twitter rants over Obama's trans shit and "listen and believe".

Bullshit, the healthiest food is also the cheapest. Buy beans, rice, lentils in bulk. poor people eat/drink sugary processed slop because they are too lazy and too stupid to cook for themselves.

>>10128816
Fuck off fatty.

>>10135111
Absolutely not. 10-15 years ago, sure.

Now it's a leftist California 2.0 hellhole. Every day comes with new taxes. Druggies shooting up on the street corner and just leaving their needles. Actual human shit everywhere. Homeless camps on the fucking sidewalk cause the city refuses to enforce actual laws. Broken down RVs and vans dealing drugs everywhere cause same reason. Rampant property crime, violent crime on the rise (good for me tho cause lots of OT). Anti Trump "marches" on Cap Hill damn near every day. They elected an actual Socialist (who also happens to be extremely wealthy).

Seattle is legitimately degenerate and I can't wait until it collapses. Maybe then Washington can recover from the damage it has caused.

Atlanta metro area has one of the nations highest rates of diabetes, which is why the city tried to pass a "soda tax" a few years back.

But all the local blacks cried up a storm and claimed the soda tax was "racist".... basically admitting that blacks can't control themselves around fucking soda.

You can't help a people that refuse to help themselves.

>>10136229
Obama was quite literally doing anything within reason to harm the country. I guarantee you've never read his book, or the writings of his self-proclaimed "mentor"/man who raised him/biological father. His entire existence is a lie. And Trump, unless you're 130 years old, has had the most successful first year of any president in your lifetime. You're the one who needs to lay off the propaganda.

Let them. If blacks want to let their kids smoke cigarettes, drink sodas, eat shit food, who are we to tell them no? We'll only get called 'racists' for pointing out their problems and trying to help them.

>>10132582
This, I can deal with the hipsters for the most part but these fucking commies need to stop mass migration to my state.

The problem is that these same niggers will turn right around and try to blame their own failures on other races and try to claim racism is why they're all obese & diabetic.

>>10136479

Would you rather the blacks stay unaware of their poor health choices and continue to die of heart disease and diabetes at rates that are 2x that of any other race?

Why do you want blacks to be obese and die off?

>>10136403
I can understand that if the tax was consumer focused and not all around
If stores had to pay a tax on all of their sugary goods that would reflect in an increase in price, it would discourage stores AND people from engaging with sugary drinks
It's not a racist policy, but it doesn't make sense for the tax to only be on the people
It's like blaming consumers for the insane amount of trash that is discarded instead of blaming manufacturers for producing it in the first place

>>10136511

You know the truth in your heart Anon

just want to report on some findings
I went away with some friends over the weekend and I knew this couple smoked pot but I didn't realize how much they indulged in this absolutely 100% non addictive natural herb
>before bed smoke
>first thing after waking up smoke
>after breakfast smoke
>after lunch smoke
>before dinner smoke
>after dinner smoke
>before heading out of the house smoke

I realize they are probably never fully sober, they can't be

anyway on to the findings. it was so strange that the more they smoked, the higher they got, the more angry they got about donald trump. It was completely out of nowhere too, nobody was talking about him or politics, but when they started smoking suddenly all this unprompted anger FUCKING DUMPFF!!!
and they would feed off each other, just escalating the situation getting angrier and angrier when nobody was even trying to argue with them

Gee, I wonder.

>>10137195
angry about record economic growth, job participation, employed minorities, and lower crime, unemployment, and taxes?

maybe if you spent less time "thinking" (smoking pot and sitting on the couch in the dark) and more time actually doing something with your life you wouldn't be so angry

>>10137609

Of the couple of those things that are at all true, Trump had nothing to do with them.

>>10137632
all of them are true
the trump admin is the reason

>muh obamas economic time bomb
even obama himself said the united states would NEVER see economic growth at this rate ever again, and 1.5% is the best we could ever hope for
you are a loser, your team lost and is bad at its job

>>10137875
Strange, the economic growth in 2015 and 2016 was higher than drumpf's. Good luck with a debt that's far exceeding anything obama ever ran, too! But keep sucking orange umm...kool-aid through an orange straw, tard gobbler!

You sure about that? Taxing the items that are purchased disproportionately by ignorant poor people seems like a good way to keep a large base of needy, weak-minded workers. It's what ((((They)))) want.

Buying in bulk isn't an option if you can't afford the initial investment. It's not like the poor can afford to drop hundreds of dollars on food in a single trip, even if it means not having to shop for the rest of the month.

I thought the same thing when I moved there. Then I realized that the lack of urban culture also means a lack of the degenerate trash that comes with places like Seattle.

Sure, it's small. But it's also not full to the brim of human shit, used needles, drug addicts, and LGBT trash

>>10136357
>to whom a lot of refugees are running
And that will be their downfall.

Those economic systems work awesome is theres a large working class and a small number of non providers. When 90% of people are working, theres enough stuff to go around.

Now when you introduce a huge welfare state, a massive population that exists only to suck off the government teat, the system gets overwhelmed. So then the government leans MORE on the dwindling number of producers to pay for the rest. You enter a feedback loop that only ends with collapse.

yes, the body does generally follow the laws of thermodynamics, but it's incomplete to say that metabolism can be reduced to those rules. the difference in peak is probably about 500-800kcal for the worst cases, it doesn't justify fatties

Nice /pol/ containment thread. Now we need to do something about the Youtuber spammers.

If we want to stop obesity we need to fight against zoning laws and cars, not food

>>10138352
That's still no excuse for this nanny-state taxation bullshit. I should not have taxes forced upon me because some other people are irresponsible retards. Teach kids that consumption of too many calories leads to obesity and health problems. Put other propaganda out there against eating/drinking excessive calories. Whatever you do though, let these people MAKE THEIR OWN GOD DAMN DECISIONS about what they do with their lives.

I'm 40, from eastern europe, and yes it is. You're a generation of spoiled cucks who never ever had any real problems. You are decadent, hedonistic, self-centered materialists. You literally give away your countries to immigrants from shitholes who will soon turn your homes into the shitholes themselves.

Tax is for paying for necessary public services, not for punishing people or changing behaviour.

>tfw was considering moving to Washington to keep a British style climate and a West-coast feel but get away from the hellish nanny state and insanity here.
>tfw they've been infected too.

Why is it the only places that seem free from socialists trying to ruin lives are deserts, tropical swamps or thousands of miles from the seaside? All I want is a slightly damp, temperate climate, a west facing ocean and to not be fucked with.

I worked in the British Civil Service where this kind of thinking absolutely dominates and they actively are proud of 'changing the consensus of society on smoking' through bans on where you can smoke and higher taxation, similar with alcohol, etc

It's nonsense though; with the data I saw, all that's going on is that people are saying to the doctor they don't smoke or drink while in reality they're drinking like fish and puffing like chimneys. Sales of illegal, smuggled and untaxed tobacco is rife; every corner shop has a stash they sell to people they trust. It hasn't 'changed' anything except now people don't inform their doctors and buy smuggled cigarettes. Arguing against this is why I got sacked.

>>10133922
They already pay for healthcare you bootlicking fuck. Maybe reduce the tax burden on them an shrink the size of the state.

>>10136357
Name one; Sweden is barely socialist (less than five percent of the economy is state controlled/owned) and survived due to a high state of public cohesion and excellent public health due to a eugenics programme that ran from the 1930s to the 1970s. It's also starting to come apart at the seams due to demographic changes and is horrible for freedom of speech, etc. Unless you think a state that pretends that daily grenade attacks in a normal town on police is a normal thing that's always happened there is good. They also charge you around 40% of your income as taxes.

>>10136577

I'm a PhD student with an MA (Distinction) and a first class BA focusing on early medieval history and I personally think Trump is rather good and a force against the established direction in which the West seems to be going. I'd prefer it to have come in a more respectable, stately form, but beggars can't be choosers.

>>10139090
I don't buy fizzy drinks. It's a regressive, pointless tax that completely overstates the state's remit; it is not our father, it should not forcibly try to coerce new patterns of behaviour through taxation. If you need more taxation, find a way to increase business profits or cut your current provision of services. Ideally, do both. If Seattle has a single person in a worthless jobsworth position, they should be sacked before a single cent more is levied.

>>10140429

>with an MA (Distinction) and a first class BA

I have both of those things and would never type shit like this.

>>10140442
If I didn't include it, they'd ask why I considered myself intelligent (which I largely don't, but I seem to be doing quite well in academia). In addition, I keep my political views to myself because to express basic central liberal views on things like nation, the rule of law, etc these days is to be viewed in the same vein as a Fascist by the more hysterical members of the faculty and student body.

What do you object to? Someone who was elected on a platform of national interest, relaxing tax burden and more considered foreign involvement? Trump is merely standing for what were, broadly, centrist principles in the early 90s, even in my country. Or the fact that someone with a good MA and continuing in his studies can dare to not raise his voice against the current US President.

Where do you stand on this tax issue, anyway, bringing it back to the topic of discussion?
