I noticed this was a thing in Canada or at least Ontario when we had no tax days at the grocery store. I noticed a pattern between who was being charged tax and who wasn’t and realized unhealthy food was taxed more while healthy stuff had little or no tax. Barely anybody else realized either. Those poor suckers who came specifically on that day thinking it was a great deal, waited in line forever only to realize they didn’t even buy anything that had tax on it. Probably share fuckin memes about how much taxes they paid on Facebook too, but never even paid attention. Thing is though, we have universal healthcare and children get dental cleanings so there’s at least another argument there, ya know? I don’t really see what the argument is in America, but I feel like a lot of the progressive states want to skip steps and do things socialist places are doing without the underlying foundation.

It also depends where those taxes end up going, does it go back into healthcare or is your sugar intake paying for a road even though you walk ?
