Yes, friends, the people of Seattle have finally seen a tax they didn’t like. I know, I can’t believe it either.

I’m sure you’ve heard about I-77, whether you live in the northwest or not. It’s the 10 cent tax on coffee. Yes, a sin tax on coffee in the home-town of Starbucks.

The beneficiaries of this tax? Why, “The Children” of course. In fact, the slogan in the Yes campaign’s ads, as I remember it, was “Seattle loves Coffee. Seattle Loves children. Vote yes on I-77.”

From the preliminary results, it looks like its losing by a 2-1 margin. Seattle apparently loves its caffeine more than little Billy and the rest of the kids. What a bunch o heartless Republican bastards!

Oh, wait, these are the same bleeding hearts who are so happy to tax every other staple possible, such as beer or cigarettes (which, you know, are enjoyed by all those dirty people). But yet they won’t spend 10 simple cents per cup of coffee for the children! The irony is delicious.

At least a third of the tax-monkeys are consistent in their evil taxation preferences…
