I oppose a Seattle soda tax, also
For the record, since yet one more tax scheme is being contemplated in Seattle government offices, I oppose this one also ("... revised soda tax ...").
One argument being proposed for this is (of course) to save the children, where Mayor Murray bemoans how we are "Tolerating an education system that is failing students of color every day and leaving them without a future.", forgetting to point out that the Seattle Public Schools must be held primarily responsible for such failure.
If the unions who oppose this tax want some arguments in opposition, I suggest they refer to coverage of exeprience with such taxes in other communities (Philidelphia, for example)
