Politician's Wet Dream: $3.84 Tax per Gallon

Philadelphia Council President: ‘Divisive’ 3-cents soda tax isn’t happening

“This has been one of the most divisive proposals since I’ve been here,” Clarke said during a budget hearing Wednesday, adding: “Everybody on this side of the table knows it’s not going to be a three-cents-per-ounce-tax.”

Seemed like the perfect tax. A slam dunk! Not sure what went wrong. Oh, well. Back to the drawing board.

Hey, maybe they can try this same tax on gasoline. It's sure to be very popular with the commuters! Just need to tell them that it will be good for the climate. You know, less heat, more rain!
