Shop outside the city, save money

The soda tax was set up to be a tax of diminishing returns and the good taxpayer foots the bill.

Why didn’t the city just tax us from the beginning and leave the soda alone.

It’s easy enough to bypass the horrendous soda and tobacco taxes.

Just take a ride on any major thoroughfare exiting the city.

While you are out, you can do all your shopping and save the soda tax plus the city’s extra 2% sales tax.

Hint: Giant has Pepsi, buy 3, get 3.

It’s amazing when the rat Kenney was in office, there were 4,509 children in Pre-k.

In eight years, they have added only 750 children.

That certainly is a crappy job in a city of 1.5 million.

By the way, where are these schools located?

Don’t believe the obesity statistics.

The city paid for the report.

The taxpayers are certainly not getting their money’s worth from the general fund or the soda tax.
